    Water for IonTorrent

    Hi all,

    We've just taken delivery of our PGM, but now we realise than it requires fresh 18mOhm water - our water supply is only rated to 15mOhm - does anyone have any experience with running their PGM at a slightly lower than recommended water purity...?

    cheers!

      Our water is usually above 18 mOhm, but during training it ran around 17.5 (the filters were due to be changed). This caused issues with the pH step. They have changed the chemistry which may have negated this, but I highly doubt it.

          Ah - many thanks - I don't think we'll risk it if a drop to 17.5 was significant...

              We were really surprised that it affected it that much. It might not as much now, but I wouldn't try it.

                  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                  ...
