Illumina COVIDSeq v1.6

Overview

The Illumina COVIDSeq Workflow workflow includes the following functionality:

• Preset Illumina COVIDSeq Workflow protocols that track samples through the quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from nasopharyngeal (NP), oropharyngeal (OP), and nasal swab as well as mid-turbinate specimens collected from individuals who meet COVID-19 clinical or epidemiological criteria.
• Automated calculation of sample and buffer volumes.
• Automated calculation or display of reagents at every step in the protocol.
• Automatic step transition when required.
• Automatic placement of samples when necessary.
• Automated assignment of QC Pass/Fail, based on user-selected threshold values.
• Sample preparation for use on the NovaSeq 6000 Sequencing System.
• Parsing of analysis results into Clarity LIMS.
