    Water for IonTorrent

    Hi all,

    We've just taken delivery of our PGM, but now we realise than it requires fresh 18mOhm water - our water supply is only rated to 15mOhm - does anyone have any experience with running their PGM at a slightly lower than recommended water purity...?

    cheers!

      Our water is usually above 18 mOhm, but during training it ran around 17.5 (the filters were due to be changed). This caused issues with the pH step. They have changed the chemistry which may have negated this, but I highly doubt it.

          Ah - many thanks - I don't think we'll risk it if a drop to 17.5 was significant...

              We were really surprised that it affected it that much. It might not as much now, but I wouldn't try it.

                  Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
                  by SEQadmin2



                  CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

                  Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into                  ...

                  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.

                  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.
