Sequencing Consumables Overview
Performing a sequencing run on the MiniSeq System requires a single-use MiniSeq Kit. Each kit includes a
flow cell and the reagents required for a sequencing run.
The flow cell and reagent cartridge use radio-frequency identification (RFID) for accurate consumable
tracking and to ensure compatibility with specified run parameters.
Flow Cell
The flow cell is a glass-based substrate on which clusters are generated and the sequencing reaction is
performed. The flow cell is encased in a flow cell cartridge.

D Inlet port
Reagents enter the flow cell through the inlet port, pass through the single-lane imaging area, and then exit
the flow cell through the outlet port.
The flow cell is shipped dry in a flow cell tube that is wrapped in a foil package. Store the flow cell in the
sealed foil package at 2°C to 8°C until use. For more information, see
