No question about it. The new dyes are better. If you switch, you won't
regret not being able to use the old dyes.
>> Hi all
>> ABI have produced a filter wheel which can be fitted to a 373A sequencer
> to allow it to take advantage of the new generation of dyes (which 377
> users can automatically use). These are the dRhodamine terminators and
> the BigDye primers and terminators.
>> For people who use these new dyes, are they that much better than the
> older ones?
>> For 373A users changing ther filter wheel means you cannot use the older
> dyes anymore. It would also prevent sequencers from using other
> manufacturers dye kits (Amersham for example).
>> Has anybody using a 373A switched to the new filter wheel? and do you
> find you get better quality data?
>> Thanks in advance.
