Ours is a big paperweight at the moment. Would love to hear if you come up with a new function (or find a market). -
What to do with old 454 instruments?
Has anyone given thought to how these 454 instruments might be repurposed? Seems like we ought to be able to come up with ideas. If Roche would release the control software at some point, we have 365,000 wells to play with and a facile reagent delivery system.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with ideas. Either online or offline. I'm not a tech-transfer person, just a biologist who likes to play with toys.

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...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
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
