We are having a terrible time with our newest lot of flow cells (42xxxAAXX). I am wondering if anyone else has had similar problems, and, hopefully, advice. I went from fairly reliably walking away from amp on the cluster station to having to watch the first cycles like a hawk and switching out 2-4 amp manifolds before one will pull evenly through. This is not a problem with the hyb manifolds and only seems to have started once we received the 42-series of flow cells. It is likely not a problem with our cluster stations as a manifold that fails on one cluster station fails on at least 2 of the 3 stations (two of the cluster stations have had practically everything replaced from the peltier heater, to the clips, to the pumps). I've tested new and old lots of manifolds and the problems seems to be irrespective of lot. The only thing that is new is the flow cells themselves. Has anyone had a good/bad experience with this lot of flow cells?
Thanks!
Thanks!
