  • Tapestation mistake made

    Hi all,

    When I used Tapestation last time, I accidentally forgot to remove the caps of the tubes. There was error warning and after I cleaned up the stuck tips I re-ran some RNAs (only 4 out of 16 lanes in the tape can be detected). The run seemed work normally and I did get my results. The only thing I am worried is that apart from empty control and ladder, my two RNA samples (Arabidopsis roots) got RIN 10.0. While the RNA gel looked great, I still can't believe they got 10! The ladder looks fine and my RNA concentration is around 100ng/ul, lower than what I got from Qubit but comparable.
    So I want to ask do you think my mistake (forgot to remove cap) can affect the performance of the machine? Did anyone have the same experience?

    Hi,Did you figure that out what was the reason. Did you have to repair the Tapestation? We recently had a similar incidence and the tubes are stuck inside.TIA

      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...
