The NextSeq 550 system includes a touch screen monitor, a status bar, and four compartments.
Instrument Components
- Touch screen monitor—Enables on-instrument configuration and setup using the control software interface.
- Status bar—Indicates instrument status as processing (blue), requires attention (orange), ready to sequence (green), when a wash is due within the next 24 hours (yellow).
- Buffer compartment—Holds the buffer cartridge and the spent reagents container.
- Reagent compartment—Holds the reagent cartridge.
- Power button—Powers the instrument and the instrument computer on or off.
- Imaging compartment—Holds the flow cell during a sequencing run.
- Air filter compartment—Holds the air filter for instruments with a filter that is accessible from the rear panel.
