IGA Library Prep Automated v3.0

Overview

IGA Library Prep Automated v3.0 contains preset protocols that support the preparation of samples and libraries used for sequencing. These protocols can be used with the NovaSeq X Series Sequencing v2.0 workflow (which is installed separately). The protocols provide the following functions:

  • File-based integration with the Hamilton robots that are used for liquid handling steps.

  • Automated calculation of sample and buffer volumes.

  • Automated calculation or display of reagents.

  • When required, automatic step transition.

Protocol 1: Sample Selection (IGA v3.0)

Protocol Type = Sample Prep

Next Steps Configuration

  • Step(s):

    • 1: Select Samples (IGA v3.0)

      • Assign Next Step = Automatic

Step 1: Select Samples (IGA v3.0)

  • Master Step Name = Sample Selection (IGA v3.0)

  • Step Type = No Outputs

The version of Sample Selection (IGA) master step name may be different depending on the version of IPP installed.

Automations

Validate Sample Attributes (IGA v3.0)
  • Trigger Location = Step

  • Trigger Style = Automatic upon entry

Sample Selection - Set Library prep method and Next steps (IGA v3.0)
  • Trigger Location = Record Details

  • Trigger Style = Automatic upon exit
