Reagent Compartment
The reagent compartment is a high-capacity reagent chiller that holds 3 reagent racks: 2 for
SBS reagents and 1 for indexing and paired-end reagents. Sipper handles lower the sippers
into the reagent bottles.
}
SBS reagent racks
—Hold 250 ml conical bottles. The reagent rack for flow cell A is
located in the center position, and the rack for flow cell B is located in the far right
position. Each reagent rack has numbered positions that correspond to connections on
an internal reagent selector valve.
}
Indexing and paired-end reagent rack
—The reagent rack is located to the left of racks
A and B. It has 2 rows of numbered positions that hold 15 ml conical tubes containing
paired-end reagents and indexing reagents. The left row is for flow cell A, and the right
row is for flow cell B.
}
Reagent chiller
—The reagent chiller houses the reagent racks and maintains an
internal temperature of 2°C to 8°C.
