Does anyone have experience using Illumina HiSeq v3 reagents after their expiry date? Everything is still stored at -20 in original packaging. Kits in question is SR and PE v3 clustering kits and sequencing kits. If so, how far out have you used them? Be aware, my Illumina products arrived with only 3 months left on the shelf life!

As long as it was stored properly, I don't see what could have gone bad.... -
I was told by my FAS that the SR kits are more robust to being used past expiry than the PE kits. I guess it has something to do with how the linearisation is achieved.
We have some SR kits that are about 6 months out of date and we're going to put them on in a few weeks to see if we get anything, but I have no info at the moment.Comment

Highly curious: Did you ever run any of the expired SR cluster kits?Comment

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...Today, 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
