    Covaris AFA Grade Water

    Hello,

    Is the "super special" water needed for a Covaris M220 just high quality ddH2O, or is it something else?

    Thanks,
    Andor

    As far as I recall (its been 2-3 years) we used to use milliQ water and changed it everyday before using it.

      Oh and its best to empty the tank out at night just in case you do get any salt or something or other managing to grow in it or stick to the tank walls, its supposed to be a super sensitive and precise instrument and changing the tank surface or having bits of whatever floating in the water are bound to affect the sound wave distribution.

        For Covaris instruments you can use milliQ grade water, or autoclaved ddH2O. Please make sure to empty the water at the end of the day in order to avoid algae growth.

        Thank you

            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.

            Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
            by SEQadmin2


            I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

            Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
