Dear Bob,
we use water to replace the formamid and it works much better.
Other question: which 3700-specific modification do you refer to for
the "G50 Millipore method"?
Best regards, Bernd
>Dear Sequencers (and Genotypers),
>>A while back I asked for recommendations on the best way to purify

>recommendations I received:
>>For 96 well plates
>Modified G50 Millipore method
>>For 384 well plates
>Array-It from Telechem
>>Now I have one more question for more experienced PE 3700 users.
>How do you purify your formamide? There are two protocols from
>PE-ABI for purifying formamide, one using a mixed bed column method
>and one by the standard stirring/filtration with mixed bed resin.
>From our results with the 3700 it looks like the purity of the
>formamide is critical for good results. We can get over 650 base
>pairs of good sequence with the first run using HD Formamide from PE
>but later runs (reinjecting the same samples) show significant
>degradation in the length and quality of the sequences. Any tips
>would be greatly appreciated.
>>Best Regards,
>>Bob
