Perform a Water Wash
A water wash is required after each sequencing run to wash the system and check fluidics. A maintenance
wash is an optional alternative to the post-run water wash. For instructions, see
.
If the instrument has been idle for one day or more, perform a water wash before beginning a new
sequencing run.
