I have used distilled water from a RODI tap for a Miseq from 2017 until 2021 and the machine seemed fine the whole time! -
Hey, we use milliq H2O (18MΏ) with .5% tween and wash regularly just like you do.Leave a comment:

Water for MiSeq Wash
I have a relatively trivial question. What type of water do you use to MiSeq wash, respectively to prepare 0,5% Tween 20?
Does anyone use only distilled or redistilled water? So far, we have used 18MΏ. To prevent biofilm formation we wash the machine more often than indicated in the Illumina manual. That means increases the consumption of expensive water, as well as overhead costs. We therefore began to think that we would switch to distilled or redistilled water for MiSeq wash.
What is your experience in this area?

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
