Prepping a sample for a GS Jr run. Realized the Enrich and Seq primers got left out overnight at room temperature. We've got calls (and emails) in to Roche tech support, but it's been more than an hour, and now we're just sitting here twiddling our thumbs. Anyone know if these reagents are ruined? Or are they like real primers and likely fine?

I don't have any direct experience with your issue, but I suspect they will be just fine. At this point, you have nothing to lose by going ahead with the enrichment. If the enrichment primer has gone bad, you will get poor results from your enrichment and it will be clear after the washes. If the enrichment primer is okay then the sequencing primer should be fine as well. I'd say go ahead try it, then come back here and let us know how it worked out. -
So....how did it turn out? Did they still work?Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
