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 instrument while it is idle.
To configure the Illumina instrument for use with the Illumina NextSeq Integration, the Support team:
| 1. | Creates 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. | Creates a directory on the NAS to hold the event files. |
| 3. | Modifies Illumina software configuration files to call the batch files that create the event files. |
| 4. | Updates sequencing service default database properties to match the specifics of the installation. |
All one-dimensional container types with both numeric rows and numeric columns are supported.
This integration operates with the following constraints:
| • | The reagent cartridge ID must be unique. Avoid multiple reagent cartridge containers in the system with identical names. |
| • | The reagent cartridge ID must be scanned as the reagent cartridge Container Name on the Denature and Dilute (NextSeq 500/550 v1.0) step. |
