SeqStudio users?

[hamzairshad267]

I am using ABI3500 for capillary fragment analysis, Can I just refill the cathode and anode buffer instead of changing them every time to make it cost effective?
Thankyou

You can try it (especially with the used cartridge), but first I would measure the conductivity/pH of the ready cathode/anode buffer solution, than dillute the ABI CE buffer to the same ionic strength as new instrument ones. The buffering capacity of universal buffer is lower, than specifically made anode/cathode ones, but by how much, a test titration by acid/base can tell you.

I wonder if anyone has information whether SeqStudio cathode buffer is the same as other running /cathode buffers for earlier ABI CE sequencers. In other words, can 10x running buffers for ABI CE sequencers available on the market can be used as SeqStuido cathode buffer?
