Hello,
We detected some kind of biofilm on the Miseq manual sipper and have reported to Illumina support. The reply from the supposed Illumina support was a little bit unsupported. They said that they don’t have any official recommendation but we can use a bleach dilution to soak it in (manual sipper). They informed that tween solution can lead to a fungal growth, and we need to be aware that now all the lines (all sippers) can be contaminated, and there’s no official procedure for this kind of problems.
After reported several times some white spots in the images, looks like we discovered that it was fungus.
Anyone with the same problem?
Cheers,
