I hear rumors that service on the Nextseq 500 has been discontinued. Has anyone had issues getting service contract, parts or reagents on their Nextseq 500?

It likely has been discontinued already with their release of NextSeq 550 like last year. Almost all the parts are identical, so you shouldn't have any problems getting service contract renewals, parts or consumables for either a 500 or 550. You might have a problem continuing to get the v2 kits (their v2.5 flow cells are superior) for much longer, but that's not due to the instrument.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
