Hey NextSeq500 users, has anyone experienced an unexpected power failure during their run? Have you determined any causes? A instrument power failure occurred 10 hours into my last run.

As in the sequencer just died while the power was still on in building? Do you not use UPS's on your sequencers to filter out power anomalies? -
The power failure was not a result of a utility failure. Yes, the instrument was connected to a UPS. It appears to be an instrument power failure.Comment

I assume you have eliminated a faulty UPS as a possible cause? If your sequencer is under a maintenance contract you should contact Illumina tech support ASAP.
Never seen a sequencer just die (out of 20 over years) so something is not right.Comment

Update: NextSeq500 Power Failure
The power failure turned out to be a failure of one the computer fans in the instrument. After 10 hours into the run when the computer started heating up with the processing of data, the processing unit overheated and shutdown.Comment

I get that a lot. Mostly because I have a lot of electronics and a lot of load on the network. Sometimes it goes out. The main thing is to use the equipment well. Because a short circuit can happen. And it can burn out all the wiring, which nobody wants, I'm sure. And that's it, I've got the guys for everything, it's the residential electricians Minneapolis. My main thing is that they solve the problem quickly and efficiently. Everyone's place of residence, of course. But you get the point. I don't have to deal with it myself, I'd rather pay and stay healthy.Last edited by Lymanara; 02-13-2021, 07:15 AM.Comment

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...Yesterday, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
