    TapeStation lane failures

    Hello Seqers,

    Has anyone experienced multiple lane failures on the TapeStation when loading samples from 96-well plates? We have seen this now on multiple instruments and Agilent does not have an answer. Of course we have ruled out the plates and samples but have been unable to isolate the problem on the instrument.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Yes-we have it occasionally when running with all supported consumables.

    They have not been able to tell us much either.

    However, if it is a big enough issue and you lose many lanes, they can usually be convinced to replace a box of tapes and reagents.

      Are you sure it's not bubbles in the tape? I find it hard to see if there are bubbles.

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
