Clean, Initialize, and Run
The Clean, Initialize, and Run programs lead you through the necessary steps to
prepare the instrument for sequencing and start a sequencing run.
• The Clean program can be used to perform a wash solution cleaning. Cleaning
must be performed before each initialization to ensure that the reagents from the
previous run are cleared from the fluid lines. Follow the instructions provided on
the touchscreen.
• The Initialize program must be performed before each run to prepare the run
reagents. The Initialize program walks you through the following steps:
– Specifying the sequencing kit.
– Loading the reagent and wash solutions. (After this step, the instrument
performs a reagent check.
Abbreviated instructions are provided on the touchscreen; for detailed
instructions, see .
• The Run program walks you through steps leading up to and through
sequencing, including:
– Placing a loaded chip on the instrument.
– Selecting a planned run created in the Torrent Server Software.
– Performing sequencing.
