  • SOLiD5500 (total) meltdown

    Hello,

    we are experiencing problems with our 2 SOLiD5500 machines since end of july. It is getting extremely frustrating because one run the reverse quality is crap (<40% good best), another one the forward is crap (<20% good best)and the next one the barcode is crap (<60% good best).

    Is there anyone else experiencing problems with their machines when comparing results to previous ones?

    Sidenote: we do see that lane 1 is routinely better than lane 6, although lifetech assured us this was impossible.

    Are you certain the library titration was correct? Best beads % can be low from too much DNA in bead prep.

      Yes I am sure the samples are good, we did run them previously without problems. The noise/signal and on axis are all ok.

      The problem does not appear to be the machine so now we are testing another EZbead station and another lot-nr chemistry.

        I give up.

          that does not look like solid data. shouldn't there be cycles of quality?

            You mean like this?



            Last bar of the first ligation cycle is base 71
            Last bar of the second ligation cycle is base 72

            etc.

              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...
