Basically use more 70% ethanol (clear, without fusel oils :-)
And spin at 10 degrees C (instead of 4).

Help with trouble shooting: re-reading the same plate produces better results
Hello, I'm doing Sanger sequencing and I'm getting some strange results that I've now reproduced at least 4 times. Every time I read my plate in the sequencer, my results look much better when I read it again the following day with absolutely no modifications to the plate. That is, multiple wells that were once negative and didn't show any signal, suddenly showed up as positive for my target on a re-read of the same plate on the next day. I'm using the BigDye xterminator kit with m13 primers after PCR. I'm also reading my plates on the 3730 DNA analyzer.
Does anyone know why this could be happening? I am at a complete loss as to what is going on.
Thanks in advance

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
