I recently did a couple MinION of runs with a sequencing kit that was 6 days at room temp during shipment, before being stored beyond its expiration date due to the pandemic, with flow cells that were also expired. Only the NEB reagents had not expired. The runs were very good, in fact among the best we have had. It seems like a really robust system.

I had this discussion with nanopore tech support a couple of weeks ago. Apparently the ligation kit shelf life used to be 6 months and it was shortened to 3 months: it's the motor protein AMX (or AMII in NB kits) that is not as stable. That said, I have used kits for six months without any big problems, it's just that if they don't work you can't complain!

In our experience the ligation and associated reagents is the most sensitive part of library preps. I would expect other reagents to last longer past the expiration date, but I won't make any predictions.

Expired reagents (NEB & ligation)
I was wondering if anyone has details on how reliable expired ligation kits are? I inherited an MSc project that was dropped due to covid and most reagents in the lab are 3+ months old. I understand this is the expiry limit, as confirmed by all the stored flowcells being bone-dry, but I was wondering if this would be the case for the rest of the end-prep/ligation kits (DNA, 1D, non-PCR, no barcoding). Im brand new to this site and partially to Nanopore so I'd really appreciate all the help I can get!

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...-
