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

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 -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
