This question isn’t directly bioinformatics-related, but I hope it’s okay to ask here?
I'm following the Open-ST protocol and having trouble with the thin top glass layer of the NovaSeq S4 flow cell. It’s extremely fragile and breaks easily when attempting to cut, even when I used the 3D mold provided in your protocol. I haven't had any issues with the thicker bottom glass layer.
Any advice on cutting the top glass more effectively?
Thank you!

We found that using the right glass cutter may solve this problem! For thin glass like the top layer, you need a cutter specifically for thin glass. The regular one doesn’t cut it. Just make sure you're using a fine-tip cutter designed for thinner glass to avoid breakage.
Thanks Jia for this tip it was very helpful. We tried now this one from Plano "Diamantschreiber Hex-Scribe" (54483) and it worked out well without breaking of the thin glass. But I was wondering if someone tried cutting with a lasercutter?
