    Thermal cycler with variable temperature lid?

    Does this machine exist:, for example, a machine that can change the lid temperature during the course of the reactions? Something tells me that having the lid set to 75C when my reverse transcription reaction is occurring at 45C is not a good idea. In addition, I've been getting lots of adapter dimers and/or technical sequences/artifacts in library prep which I see on the bioanalyzer during my library constructions. Could not having a heat-changing lid be the reason? I am talking about cross all different sample types/library prep kits/depletions.

    Hello seqtechno1,

    I'm not aware of such a cycler. But having the lid temperature on 75°C seems to me very low. For all kind of reaction we use 105°C.

    But I'm unsure whether this can lead to your problem, as the higher lid temperature should just prevent vaporescence of your sample.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
