The number I heard was $26,000 off a MiSeq with a qualifying trade. Qualifying trade-ins included ABI 31xx, & 37xx machines, SOLiD, 454 GS-Flx and others. I can't remember specifically if the PGM was included, I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but the trade allowance was no where near full retail on the instrument.Originally posted by SEQseekers View PostI heard that ILMN just started offering up to the full trade-in value of the PGM toward the purchase of a MiSeq...Comment

I had overheard that it was $26K for the listed above and up to $49K for the PGM. Don't know if anyone has done it yet, but guess it could hurt to hit up the rep if your interested.Comment

Checking further I found the $26K was offered on:Originally posted by SEQseekers View Post
ABI 31xx, 37xx
ABI SOLiD
ILMN GA (I'm not sure if this means the GAII/GAIIx are excluded.)
Roche/454 GS-FLX & GSjr.
The PGM was not on the list.Comment

I just had a chance to speak an Illumina Rep and he did confirm that there is a PGM - MiSeq trade-in program going on right now for up to the full $50K - As we don't have a PGM (but just looking into desktop sequencing) he was not overly eager to go into details with me - So, I guess there are a few stipulation and he was not really clear about when the promotion ends... Hope this helpsComment

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
