    Has anybody used an expired PTP kit?

    They have expiry dates, but it is only the plate and the rubber loading gasket and cartridge seal. I presume it would be fine, but I would appreciate any input from someone who has used an expired one.

    Thank you!

    I have used an expired plate and have not really had any issues. All of the reagents that I used along with said plate were in spec, so if it is just the plate you have that is expired, you should be ok.

      PTP is reusable if care is taken to dislodge old beads by gentle ultrasound and wash.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        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...

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        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
