Sample Sheet Generation
The sample sheet is generated on the step before the run. This step is either Dilute and Denature (NovaSeqDx v1.2) in the NovaSeqDx Standard protocol or Load to Flowcell (NovaSeqDx v1.2) in the NovaSeqDx Xp protocol. This step places samples on the library tube or flow cell that is loaded in the NovaSeq 6000Dx instrument.
In the default configuration, the Validate Run Setup and Generate Sample Sheet automation generates one sample sheet file for use with bcl2fastq v2.20 downstream analysis. This file is in the comma-separated values (CSV) format.
The sample sheet is uploaded to the NovaSeq 6000Dx Operating Software (NVOS) via the /Illumina/Sequencer/v2/sequencing-run/files endpoint to the Sequencer API. The file endpoint allows for a file to be downloaded from Clarity LIMS using OAuth (instead of Basic Authentication), which is required for NovaSeq 6000Dx.
The run recipe response sets the sample sheet URL to the link to download the file from this endpoint and sets the sampleSheetRequiresOAuth value to true.
