u Read 1—Enter a value up to 151 cycles.
u Index 1—Enter the number of cycles required for the Index 1 (i7) primer.
u Index 2—Enter the number of cycles required for the Index 2 (i5) primer.
u Read 2—Enter a value up to 151 cycles. This value is typically the same number of cycles as
Read 1.
The control software confirms your entries using the following criteria:
u Total cycles do not exceed the maximum cycles allowed
u Cycles for Read 1 are greater than the 5 cycles used for template generation
u Index Read cycles do not exceed Read 1 and Read 2 cycles
5 [Optional] If you are using custom primers, select the checkbox for the primers used. For more
information, see
