  • Thermal cycler with variable temperature lid?

    Does this machine exist:, for example, a machine that can change the lid temperature during the course of the reactions? Something tells me that having the lid set to 75C when my reverse transcription reaction is occurring at 45C is not a good idea. In addition, I've been getting lots of adapter dimers and/or technical sequences/artifacts in library prep which I see on the bioanalyzer during my library constructions. Could not having a heat-changing lid be the reason? I am talking about cross all different sample types/library prep kits/depletions.

    Hello seqtechno1,

    I'm not aware of such a cycler. But having the lid temperature on 75°C seems to me very low. For all kind of reaction we use 105°C.

    But I'm unsure whether this can lead to your problem, as the higher lid temperature should just prevent vaporescence of your sample.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
