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

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...10-30-2026, 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
