Instrument Integration

To make sure that the Illumina instrument warranty remains valid, the instrument integration must be performed and maintained by the BaseSpace Clarity LIMS Support team. To perform this integration, the Support team requires remote access to the system while it is idle.

The following steps are performed by the Clarity LIMS Support team when configuring the sequencing for use with the Illumina MiSeq Integration.

1.

Create a directory on the local computer to hold the batch files. These batch files write event files to the network attached storage (NAS) shares.

2.

Create a directory on the NAS to hold the event files.

3.

Modify Illumina software configuration files to call the batch files that create the event files.

4.

Update sequencing service default database properties to match the specifics of the installation.
