We have released PeakTrace 6.12 for x86_64 Redhat/CentOS 6. This fixes a few minor bugs, but it does include one important improvement – bubble spike correction. Bubble spikes are sharp spikes in the raw data channel caused by small air bubbles in the polymer. When these small gas bubbles travel past the sequencer detection zone they refract the laser light onto the CCD detector. This causes a large, but very sharp spike in the raw channel. While these bubble spikes are a production issue that should be fixed by the operator, we are able to correct the problem in software, although not always in every case. This change has been incorporated into PeakTrace 6.12. The change list for this release is:
- New Feature. Bubble spike removal.
- Minor bug fixes.
