Has anyone had a problem with the RFID reader with the NextSeq 500 sequencer? I believe this is the problem I am having with mine as it doesn't recognize or cannot read the flow cells when either trying to wash or run samples.

We have run into this problem twice before. Illumina recommended power cycling the instrument (close out of all programs, hold power button on the front of instrument until it completely turns off, wait 5 minutes, power back on.). This has worked on both occasions. Good luck! -
This sounds like a good idea, thank you for the suggestion. I will post later if it works!Todd D Prickett

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...Yesterday, 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
