Illumina Preset Protocol - Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment (L) Tagmentation

The Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment (L) Tagmentation workflow includes the following functionality.
• | Preset Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment (L) Tagmentation protocols that support the generation of enriched libraries for dual-indexed, paired-end sequencing. |
• | Automated calculation of sample and buffer volumes. |
• | Automated calculation or display of reagents at every step in the protocol. |
• | Automatic step transition when required. |
• | Automatic placement of samples when necessary. |
• | Automated assignment of QC Pass/Fail, based on user-selected threshold values. |
