IMPORTANT! Ensure that polymer has been installed for <3 days before you run a fragment install
check. If you use older polymer, the install run may fail because allele peaks may not align with the
expected system-specified bins.

(Sequencing install runs only) Select capillar
y information sharing settings:
• Use as spectral calibration—Uses the sequencing data for spectral calibration.
• Allow borrowing—Determines whether the software can use spectral calibration data from
an adjacent capillary if the data from a capillary does not meet the quality thresholds. For
information, see “Spectral calibration sharing between capillaries” on page 321. (The Auto
Retry function from spectral calibration is not performed if you allow borrowing for the install
run.)
