The following table shows index adapters (wells) that can be combined in a three- to eight-plex pool, while the color‑coded figure illustrates each combination.
A minimum plexity of three makes sure that libraries are color balanced for sequencing on any Illumina system. To create a two-plex pool, review the index adapter sequences to ensure color balance on your system.

Use index adapters from any wells that optimize color balance in a sequencing run, for example:
• | A1–H1 and A2 |
• | A4–D4 and A5–E5 |
• | A7–F7 and A8–C8 |
• | A10–C10, A11–C11, and A12–C12 |
The following figure depicts all four examples.
