disappearing sequences : any ideas?

Has anyone ever observed sequences which start out perfectly well (about 
twenty bases) then give what looks like tens of Ts, then nothing. This 
is _NOT_ polyT, but looks like it could be due to contamination of 
something on our platform as hand-made sequences on the same templates 
work fine.

We've observed this problem on sequences prepared on an Amersham Vistra 
robot and a Tecan Genesis, both using MilliQ water. We use BigDye 
version 3 sequencing kits and Millipore MAHV Sephadex columns for 
purification. We've observed the same phenomenon on ABI377 and 3100 
machines.

All ideas are welcome. Thanks.
