It has been described that formamide quality decrease and sequencing reactions exposure to light, heat and/or oxygen can cause irregular peaks of cytosine and guanine in electropherograms. In a previous study, we concluded that despite the presence of this artifact when formamide is stored under non-ideal conditions, it does not significantly reduce the quality of the sequences.engconference object
