Recommended Action

Batch Failure

Library Prep

Batch QC failed.

Notice

Yes

Restart library plating.

Report Generating Failure

Reporting

The system failed to generate a report.

Alert

Yes

Check available disk space. Refer to Action Procedures. If space is low, clear disk space or back up data. Refer to Action Procedures.
Possible hardware failure. Reboot the server. If the problem persists, email Illumina Technical Support.

Failed to Parse Run Parameters file

Sequencing

The system was not able to open/parse the RunParameters.xml file.

Warning

Yes

The RunParameters.xml file is corrupted. Check the instrument configuration and resequence the pool.

Unrecognized Run Parameters

Sequencing

The software read Run Parameters that are not compatible.

Warning

Yes

The software is unable to construct sequencing run parameters from the instrument configuration file. Check the instrument configuration and resequence the pool.

Invalid Run Parameters

Sequencing

The software read required Run Parameters that are not compatible with the assay.

Warning

Yes

The software compatibility check failed. Check the instrument configuration and resequence the pool.

 

No Pool Barcode found

Sequencing

The software was not able to associate the flow cell for the sequencing run with a known pool barcode.

Warning

Yes

Possible incorrect pool barcode entry. Resequence the pool.

Sequencing Completed but Pool Barcode File Missing

Sequencing

The sequencing run was completed but the file containing the pool barcode was not detected.

Alert

Yes

Possible sequencer failure. Contact IlluminaTechnical Support for assistance.

Unable to read Pool Barcode File

Sequencing

The file containing the pool barcode is corrupted.

Alert

Yes

Possible sequencer or network failure. Contact Illumina Technical Support for assistance.

Pool Barcode File Mismatch

Sequencing

The detected pool barcode file references a different flow cell ID than the one associated with the sequencing run.

Alert

Yes

Possible sequencer failure. Contact Illumina Technical Support for assistance.

Sequencing Timed Out

Sequencing

The sequencing run has not completed in a given timeframe.

Warning

Yes

Check the sequencer and the network connection. Resequence the pool.

Sequencing QC files generation failed

Sequencing QC

The sequencing run has completed but the interop QC files are corrupted.

Alert

Yes

Check the sequencer, and the network connection. Resequence the pool.

Sequencing QC failed

Sequencing QC

The sequencing run has completed and the sequencing QC check failed.

Notice

Yes

Resequence the pool.

Analysis Failed for Maximum number of attempts

Analysis

All Analysis attempts have failed. Will not retry.

Warning

Yes

Resequence the second pool.

Analysis Post-Processing Failed

Post-Analysis

The software failed to post process the analysis results.

Alert

Yes

If using a NAS, check the network connection. Refer to Action Procedures.
Possible hardware failure. Reboot the server. If problem persists, email Illumina Technical Support.

Plate Level Contamination Detected

Analysis

The software has detected a plate level contamination/admixture event.

Notice

Yes

Restart method from plasma isolation.
