SOLiD Beads Sinking

[Jperrott]

Hi I am trying to perform some hybridization experiments, yet a problem I am facing is that the SOLiD beads are sinking and so I am unable to capture/enrich for my target. I have tried using rotating incubators as well as shaking thermocyclers to try and keep the beads suspended but with no luck.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!!

Magnetic levitation? Might be tricky to get your magnets positioned just right.

Most SOLiD methods use a very slow rotator, so keeping them completely suspended should not be critical, I would think.
