Oryxnano 50+50 nL

Demetres


Which, indirectly, brings up an interesting (but not relevant to the Oryx) question.

Nucleation is a process that does have a stochastic aspect.

Thus, one could argue that compromising to 200-300 nl might be better than either extremes of 50nl (too small volume and less chance for nucleation) or 1000 nl (too much sample).

any comments ? (let the flames begin).

PS1
another interesting issue that has has been hardly touched in these emails is the real sample loss: left in wells and not easy to recover, lost because of contamination with system liquid, etc ...

PS2
I see lots of people with new robots. please do have a look at the www.BIOXHIT.org page and if you have a few minutes to assemble a table we will be happy to add your specs to our pages. it can be a nice resource and it has already enough things and already one response to my last email ;-) To make life easier to potential contributors we can provide an Excel sheet to fill up with your specs - just ask.

Only time we have ANY problems is when the nano dispensing tip gets clogged. Often a good wash whilst still on the machine will clear the blockage.
