Clean the Flow Cell
1 Remove the flow cell from the flow cell container using a pair of plastistats.
2 Rinse the flow cell with laboratory-grade water and dry it with a lens cleaning tissue.
3 Fold an alcohol wipe to approximately the size of the flow cell.
4 Hold the edges of the clustered flow cell with 2 fingers. Make sure that the inlet and
outlet ports are facing up.
5 Wipe each side of the flow cell with a single sweeping motion. Repeat, refolding the
alcohol wipe with each pass, until the flow cell is clean.
6 Dry the flow cell using a dry lens cleaning tissue.
7 Protect the flow cell from dust until you are ready to load it onto the instrument.
Load the Sequencing Flow Cell
NOTE
Do not replace the manifold gaskets. Replace the manifold gaskets after the sequencing run
is complete and before the maintenance wash.
1 Place the flow cell on the flow cell holder with the inlet and outlet ports facing down
and the barcode on the right. Make sure that the arrow on the left edge of the flow cell,
which indicates flow direction, points towards the instrument.
2 Gently slide the flow cell towards the top and right guide pins until it stops.
