Good Morning All,
Our lab has a Clear Labs automated sequencing system that we have been running with a GridION attached. Recently we've taken the GridION out the CL system and replaced it with several MinIONs; leaving us with an ostensibly perfectly good GridION waiting to be used. The only hitch is that because we got the GridION through Clear Labs rather than ONT directly, we are unsure what kind of changes they have done to the GridION's onboard systems.
I tried to hook the GridION up to a monitor + Mouse/Keyboard, but I was unable to get any kind of signal or response from the machine. Is this indicative of Clear Labs wiping the GridION of the Linux operating system and Ubuntu GUI?
Would appreciate any insight! Thanks!

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...10-30-2026, 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
