Return Consumables to Storage

Use the following instructions to store a thawed cartridge and flow cell if there is an instrument error during the instrument pre-run check before the fluidics check.

1. Separate the flow cell from the cartridge.
2. Remove and discard diluted library from the reservoir (up to ~18 µl).

Prepare a fresh dilution of the same library for the next run to avoid sample cross-contamination with residual library in the reservoir.

3. Position the cartridge in 2°C to 8°C storage so that the label faces up and air can circulate on all sides.
4. Store consumables according to the following guidance.
• XLEAP-SBS consumables:
• If cartridge was thawed in the refrigerator for 16 hours overnight, do not exceed 56 hours for all kit configurations.
• Standard SBS consumables:
• Do not exceed 72 hours.
• If 100-cycle, 200-cycle, or 300-cycle cartridge was thawed in the refrigerator for 12 hours overnight, do not exceed 60 hours.
• If 600-cycle cartridge was thawed in the refrigerator for 16 hours overnight, do not exceed 56 hours.
5. Return the flow cell to the original silver foil packaging with the desiccant.
6. Tape the foil packaging shut and place in 2°C to 8°C storage.
