  • Suggested Tablet for Core facility

    I work in a Core DNA sequencing lab and wondered if anyone has incorporated use of a tablet into their day-to-day work? If so, what type of tablet seemed to work best, what kind of qualities were you looking for?

    What else do you need to connect to/use?

    If you are in a windows-based shop then most new windows tablets (which can be joined to the domain if administration/security is a consideration) with full windows (not RT) would work. If you are worried about spilling stuff toughpads from Panasonic may be a good albeit expensive option.

      I think the main connector is going to be a barcode scanner to track lot numbers so I don't think it even needs to be that large. I will look at toughpads, thanks.

        My question about the connections was in terms of websites/programs (LIMS) etc. that you need/plan to use.

        Some tablets have a scanner built in or for you could use the camera as a 1D barcode scanner (not sure if it will do 2D).

          You can go to this to see https://www.allicdata.com , maybe you can find what you want

            We use Microsoft Surface tablets. They're powerful enough to do pretty much anything we'll need to do at the lab bench, they have good connectivity, and ease of use and application support is also good. You can use barcode scanning software (although we don't) for scanning any type of barcode via the camera. You can also plug in a USB or bluetooth barcode scanner, if that suits better.

              Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
              by seqadmin



              The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

              Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
              by seqadmin



              Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
