          Those icons make it look like it was made by PlayStation. Maybe they could sell it in piano black?

            You fooled me with the iPhone. Didn't they at one time say it would be shipping with an iPod?

              OK, I am boring: how about IT? Spoken in capitalized. Stands for Ion Torrent (of course) and since IT is a machine then the pronoun is appropriate. Talk about the lab could include phrases such as:

              IT needs more reagents.
              IT is going to be hard at work today.
              IT had a tummy-ache and barfed all over its chip.


              Anagrams do not do much. The only on I liked was "Rotten Iron" which really does not say much about the machine. So IT it is.

                      I think Ian is a nice name for it.

                      Unfortunately we're waiting for a centrifuge so we can get cracking ...

                          When I saw the brochure for the first time, the iPod caught my attention. What is it used for?
                          What kind of especial centrifuge do you need for it? Our Life Tech representative doesn´t have all the details for it yet.
                          We are currently writing a grant to buy one of these babies, so any info about it will be welcome.
                          Thanks

                            the post emulsion enrichment is tedious but the protocol supplied is worse. Make sure you get the dilution right for the emulsion. It's not well described in the protocol but it's the critical point.
                            Automation is on it's way and will make a massive difference to enrichment.

                              More tedious than for 454?

                                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                                by seqadmin


                                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
