I'm the lab manager of a genomics core facility. We have just acquired a Seqstudio Flex 8 in order tu replace our discontinued ABI3130xl genetic analyzer. However we are very disappointed because during these six months we are operating the new instrument we have observed a very low signal intensity compared with 3130xl performance and also a lack of reproducibility with same samples working sometimes and sometimes not. Please, is there anybody working with this instrument suffering similar problems? Just to elucidate whether the problem is the performance of the new platform in general or is a problem with our instrument.
Thank you very much for your help.
