    OneTouch and ES available

    PGM users:

    We have a OneTouch and ES (also Guava, preconfigured Qubit2, and various reagents and supplies) for sale; any reasonable offer considered. Have decided to cut our losses with the PGM.

    Hey there,

    Out of curiosity why have you decided to drop the ion torrent? We just got one so I'm curious to see what you didn't like about it?

    Thanks,

    Ronan.

      Update

      We wanted to use it for ribosomal RNA amplicon analysis (or other molecular marker analysis by amplicon sequencing). It has too high an error rate for this purpose and is too expensive and labor intensive for the amount of data we got. I am serious about selling the items; they are [NOT] going up on eBay [except for the Guava].

      Update: Apparently this is not allowed, at least for the IT parts. "There are fairly standard resell restrictions in the product terms and conditions"... and I found this thread about one of you trying to sell some unused chips http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthr...light=trade-in.

        Wow, the LIFE information management folk really went after you? I almost guarantee they don't have the stones to sue customers who tried to use the PGM in good faith. Actually, maybe they are that bonkers. Sad day in the sequencing space.

        I'd just demand a refund and cite that it never met its specs. Or trade <them> in...which is what we did.

        I have two more OneTouch and ES' if anyone else is interested (but buy HMorrison's first).

          We are potentially interested in buying Ion Torrent equipment, so please contact me at [email protected]

            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

            New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
            by SEQadmin2


            Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

            We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
