Anyone have experience/thoughts on the iGenomX Riptide system? Worth checking out..?

We just did a Zoom call with them, and I was very impressed. We will order one of their kits when we get in a large number of bacterial DNAs. They are working on RNA kits, but don't offer them yet. They plan to have a ribodepletion kit too, that is very interesting, but I don't think I can describe it in a public forum yet.
The kits have a one year shelf life too (which is great), but you pretty much have to use them in batches of 96.
Although even if you only use 48 samples and toss the rest of that plate, the cost would be in the $20 range per sample... not bad if it works.

Pros: high throughput, low cost, simple workflow, quality base calls and mapping rates, tunable for GC, customizable (can add targeted primers), inputs from 1-200+ ng and can accommodate dsDNA or ssDNA inputs (first strand cDNA, WGA, bisulfite converted).
Cons: Current version does not use UDIs (it is dual index, just not unique dual), uses priming + amplification so produces some peaks and valleys in coverage, current format has marginally lower complexity per sample library (so not recommended for low frequency somatic variant detection). Read count correlates with input.
best practices: works best for 96 (or more) samples of same species, same template source.
Common applications: microbial WGS, meta genomic/ microbiome screening, PCR amplicons, and skim-seq / GBS.

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...-

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...-
