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

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
