Sequencing Consumables Overview
Performing a sequencing run on the NextSeq 550Dx instrument in research mode requires a single-use
NextSeq 500/550 Kit or NextSeq 550Dx High Output Reagent Kit. Each kit includes one flow cell and
the reagents required for a sequencing run.
The flow cell, reagent cartridge, and buffer cartridge use radio-frequency identification (RFID) for
accurate consumable tracking and compatibility.
NOTE
Keep sequencing consumables stored in their boxes until ready for use.
If you use a NextSeq 550Dx High Output Reagent Kit for a research mode run, all components must be
from the same kit lot. A NextSeq 500/550 Kit cannot be used for a diagnostic mode run.
Kit Compatibility Labeling
Kit components are labeled with color-coded indicators to show compatibility between flow cells and
reagent cartridges. Always use a compatible reagent cartridge and flow cell. The buffer cartridge is
universal.
Each flow cell and reagent cartridge is labeled High or Mid. Always check the label when you prepare
consumables for a run.
