The thermal station, located beneath the flow cell stage, controls changes in temperature required for cluster
generation and sequencing.
NOTE
Do not place objects on the instrument near the flow cell compartment.
Reagent Compartment
Setting up a sequencing run on the MiniSeq System requires access to the reagent compartment to load run
consumables and empty the spent reagents bottle.
Figure 3 Reagent Compartment
A Spent reagents bottle—Includes a threaded cap to prevent spills when carrying.
B Reagent cartridge—Provides reagents in a single-use prefilled consumable.
C Reagent compartment door—Provides access to the reagent compartment.
The reagent compartment door opens outward from hinges at the bottom edge of the instrument. To open
the door, gently pull forward from the side edges of the door.
