sorry, my typo, it's tile, not tie.
they are imaged sequentially. and it is the most time consuming step.

And that would be the case for Helicos as well?
Are they imaged sequentially or all simultaneously (in that case, all ties of one channel or of one flow cell at the same time)?

illumina calls that small square tile. a channel (lane) is made up by several (120 for illunima, 60 rows X 2 cols) tiles.

Allright, that photo at least clarifies why they call them channels (i.e. they are channels). Though, now I am uncertain what the picture I posted is - a whole flow cell or a segment of a single channel?

Sorry I mixed something up. Channel for Helicos may equal to Lane for Illumina.

Looking at the image on the Helicos website may help you -- though I'd suggest any future photographers of these load them up with colored dye to get some higher contrast. Each channel is more than a separate area to photograph, but is an actual separately microfabricated liquid holding region.

I think you are right that each channel is a independent picture for a scanner to photo. So it is similar with illumina GAs.

Flow cell/channel terminology
Hello all,
I am a little bit perplexed of the exact mening of the term 'channel' as it is used by Helicos. So, I understand that there machine has two flow cells - in one the synthesis reaction takes place whilst the other is being imaged and this switches back and forth for each added nucleotide. However, each flow cell has 25 independent channels; what does that mean? Does each channel correspond to a picture like this one? Basically, if the HeliScope was a qPCR machine, would it correspond to it being able to run two multiwell plates at the time, with 25 wells per plate?
Edit: Just found a footnote in their product specification sheet stating that for more than 50 samples multiplexing or barcoding is required. This would mean that I am right, right?Tags: None

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...-

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...-
