Anyone got any useful advice for what to do with extra DNA 1000 chips for the Bioanalyzer? We've got at least 3 dozen extra collecting in our drawers. What's everyone do with their extras?

If you are using the BA for High Sensitivity assays still, you can buy High Sensitivity reagents and use them with the DNA 1000 chips. You just need to load the chip according to the High Sensitivity protocol and disregard the well labels on the DNA 1000 chip (ladder will go in the well that is labeled sample 12 and gel dye matrix in the well for the ladder).Josh Kinman -
To expand on this a little, it appears that all Bioanalyzer DNA and RNA chips are the same chip, just with a different sticker.Originally posted by jdk787 View PostComment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
