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. |
Do not exceed 72 hours. If 100-cycle, 200-cycle, or 300-cycle cartridge was thawed in the refrigerator for 16 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.
| 4. | Return the flow cell to the original silver foil packaging with the desiccant. |
| 5. | Tape the foil packaging shut and place in 2°C to 8°C storage. |
Do not exceed 72 hours.
