    Water for IonTorrent

    Hi all,

    We've just taken delivery of our PGM, but now we realise than it requires fresh 18mOhm water - our water supply is only rated to 15mOhm - does anyone have any experience with running their PGM at a slightly lower than recommended water purity...?

    cheers!

    Our water is usually above 18 mOhm, but during training it ran around 17.5 (the filters were due to be changed). This caused issues with the pH step. They have changed the chemistry which may have negated this, but I highly doubt it.

      Ah - many thanks - I don't think we'll risk it if a drop to 17.5 was significant...

        We were really surprised that it affected it that much. It might not as much now, but I wouldn't try it.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          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...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          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...
