Performing a high output run requires one of the following kit combinations, depending on run mode. All kits are single-use.
The cluster kits are available in available in paired-end (PE) and single-read (SR) versions. Both versions contain clustering reagents for the cBot 2 or cBot System and indexing and paired-end reagents for the HiSeq 2500 System. The SBS kits include sequencing reagents to sequence one flow cell on the HiSeq 2500 System.
For other system requirements, dual indexing considerations, and compatible products, see HiSeq 2500 Requirements & Compatibility.
When you receive your kits, promptly store kit components at the indicated temperatures to ensure proper performance:
HiSeq Cluster Kit v4 reagents are shipped in two boxes on dry ice. A flow cell, manifold, and accessories are also included.
