Sample stability on 3700 deck

[Paul Shinn]

   OK, one more question about using water to resuspend samples.  I've
found when using only water, the initial peaks are VERY strong and then
the signal quickly fades out.  I started with the 50:50 of water and
formamide/EDTA but the samples degrade by plate  4, however, the
peaks were more even.  For those of you running with water, is it just
water or have you doped it with a touch of formamide or EDTA?
