Prepare Reagents for Read 1
Before setting up the run, prepare reagents for Read 1 and any index reads. Load prepared reagents when
prompted by the control software.
Reagents for Read 1 can be prepared during cluster generation. For instructions on preparing clustering
reagents and performing cluster generation, see the
cBot System Guide (document # 15006165)
.
NOTE
Reagents for Read 2 are prepared during Read 1.
Split Reagents
It is possible to split a 200-cycle kit into 2 sets of reagents to perform shorter runs. For more information, see
.
Prepare SBS Reagents
The steps to prepare SBS reagents include thawing CMR, LFN, and SRE and then preparing ICB with LFN
and EDP. Using the 200-cycle SBS kit requires splitting ICB into 2 portions, 1 each for Read 1 and Read 2,
during preparation. For dual-indexing, the ICB preparation step includes calculating the appropriate reagent
volumes.

SBS Reagent Preparation Workflow
Thaw SBS Reagents
1
Remove CMR and SRE from -25°C to -15°C storage.
2
Thaw at 2°C to 8°C for about 16 hours.
Alternatively, thaw SRE in a room temperature deionized water bath for about 90 minutes. Thaw CMR in
a
separate
water bath.
NOTE
Always replace your gloves after handling CMR.
3
Invert reagents to mix.
4
Set SRE aside on ice. Set CMR aside on ice
separately
to prevent cross-contamination.
5
Remove LFN from -25°C to -15°C storage:
