Sample Sheet Generation

Sample sheet generation occurs in the Denature & Dilute (MiSeq v3.1) step. This step places samples on the container loaded in the system.

The default configuration provides only the Validate Run Setup and Generate MiSeq SampleSheet automation. This automation uses the Template File Generator (DriverFileGenerator.jar) and a template file to generate a CSV format file for use with the MiSeq Control Software (MCS).

The sample sheet content is determined by the fields on the Record Details screen of the step in the Step Data table. The values entered into these fields are used to populate the sample sheet.

To customize the template used to create the sample sheet, you can insert additional columns.

The following additional details are available:
