    Increase of current during the run and loss of resolution ABI 3130

    Hi all,
    I faced with the problem of loss of resolution after 600 nt during the run on 3130 and 80 cm capillaries. I noticed that at aprx. 80 minutes of electrophoresis (corresponded to 550-600 nt), the EP current starts to increase from 26 mA to 27 and reached 29 mA to the end of the run. This strictly coincides with the beginning of the loss of the quality of the sequence.

    So, the questions are: is it normal for EP current to increase during the run? Can anybody look at EP current chart and say whether the current is increased during the run? If it is not normal, what reason can cause this?

    PS.: I contacted the support team, but they could not answer this question and promised to send a serviceman. But all this takes time and time again. Maybe someone was faced with such a problem

    In such case I would try lowering the run voltage to 12.8 kV
    (and ajusting other parameters (data delay time, data run time) accordingly)
    Also, what is the brand/age of POP7 used?
    Did you wash your array with water or regen kit from time to time?

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      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...
