Does anyone else with the 454 GS Jr have orange/rust colored precipitate on the sipper manifold? It's on the right side of ours near the two green mini sippers. It's mostly on the front side of the thing behind the green sippers; I'm not sure what it's called. It's not anywhere else on the sequencer.

Hi Farrel75, what you are probably seeing is waste substrate. It turns color when exposed to bleach or light for an extended period of time. If your sequencing runs still look OK, then it is probably just coming form the waste line and not a leak anywhere important in the system. you can clean it off with 50% ethanol. -
Thanks a lot! I know I was being paranoid but I'm sure I'm not the only one!Comment

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 -
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...
