The future of @nanopore preps could very well be @voltalabsinc. Very great first time user experience 🎉🚀. We went from DNA to successful nanopore sequencing within a few hours of opening the robot for the first time 🤯 🟩

(it also does @illumina and @PacBio preps)

It’s a pleasure working with the team @Ginkgo @AlexPlocik and Aimable 🙌

[Volta Labs, Inc. @voltalabsinc]

We are thrilled to announce that @Ginkgo Bioworks has integrated the Callisto Sample Prep System to enable walk-away sample processing for difficult-to-automate NGS workflows in their high-throughput lab. Ginkgo is the first lab to enable Volta's newest app, Double-Sided Size Selection.

“I like the Apps and the App Store concept on Callisto. It allows us to keep our operating costs low and access multiple sequencing technologies and chemistries on the same platform,” said @AlexPlocik, Senior Director of Genomics at Ginkgo Bioworks.

SpaDeX Docking Update:

🌟Docking Success

Spacecraft docking successfully completed! A historic moment.

Let’s walk through the SpaDeX docking process:

Manoeuvre from 15m to 3m hold point completed. Docking initiated with precision, leading to successful spacecraft capture. Retraction completed smoothly, followed by rigidisation for stability. Docking successfully completed.

India became the 4th country to achieve successful Space Docking.

Congratulations to the entire team! Congratulations to India!

Occasional reminder that the United States could have been the world leader in 5G technology instead of China if we had just given *one guy* a green card when he needed one.

I used a modified telescope to capture high-speed video of the eclipse at a long focal length. Seeing the lumpy mountains of the moon against a backdrop of churning plasma is incredibly surreal.

(I hope you weren't sick of eclipse posts 😜)
