Anybody have this problem before? A brand new box of SV oil; one tube missing...

Nope, but I've had leaky oil tubes and cups before... -
missing reagents
Haven't seen missing oil tubes....yet. But we did have this XLR70 kit the other day with no ATP. The tube wasn't cracked or leaking.....it was just empty!Comment

We have a XL+ kit without DTT tube!!!!!!!!
I write to sequencing service and he replace immediately the kit.
...no comment!
do you check all the kits when you receive them?Comment
-
We had a sleeve of FLX+ reagents (50mL tubes) where 2 of the reagents were in the wrong positions...
They replaced the kit without issue.Comment

Interesting.
Yeah, I've started checking everything as soon as it shows up. Didn't think it would be necessary, but after seeing all of these replies I think differently.Comment
-
two tubes in wrong position!!!!!
I will check the kits better now.
Do you have te lot number of this kit?Comment

Double checking is a good idea - we're all human and mistakes happen. We struggled to find a list of reagents and their proper positions in any of the 454 manuals/reagent inserts which was a bit alarming. I understand they will include something like this in their next update to the manuals. Until then, make your own list

Thought I would contribute - nothing dramatic but; my supervisor couldn't figure out why the sipper manifold wouldn't lower completely when he was doing a maintenance wash until he discovered.........Comment

We had the following:
1) Polymerase at half the level required
2) Empty Apyrase Tupe
3) Cracked XL sequencing tray tubes (leaking)Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
