Configuration
This integration supports the integration of Clarity LIMS to Illumina MiSeq i100 series instruments.
The configuration provided in this integration has been established to support MiSeq i100 Series lab processes. Any configuration changes to protocols or workflows (including renaming protocols, steps, and fields) could break the integration.
Prerequisites and Assumptions
The MiSeq i100 Series Integration v1.0.0 requires a valid BaseSpace Sequence Hub account with an Enterprise or Professional subscription.
Analysis Configuration Template
The MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0 workflow uses analysis configuration templates (ACTs), created on BaseSpace Sequence Hub, to configure secondary analysis for planned runs.
The index adapter kit configured in the ACT must be created as label group in Clarity LIMS and used in the library preparation step for indexing the samples.
For more information, refer to MiSeq i100 Series Integration v1.0.0 User Interaction, Validation and Troubleshooting.
ACT names created in BaseSpace Sequence Hub must not have leading or trailing spaces.
Samples
Samples must go through the library preparation and quantification process before they enter the MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0 workflow. It is assumed that the following steps have completed before samples are assigned to the workflow:
Samples have been accessioned into Clarity LIMS.
Samples have been run through QC and library prep.
Samples have the Molarity (nM) global field set to a value.
This value is required for the Calculate Volumes automation in the Make Bulk Pool step.
Sample and library names must use only alphanumeric, dash, or underscore characters.
For more information on sample accessioning, refer to Sample Accessioning and Upload and Modify Samples in the Getting Started section of the Clarity LIMS (Clarity & LabLink Reference Guide) documentation.
You can assign samples to workflows automatically, using a routing script, or manually—from the Projects & Samples dashboard. Refer to Assign and Process Samples in the Clarity LIMS (Clarity & LabLink Reference Guide) documentation.

Step 4: AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0)
The AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) step is fully automated. The integration starts the step, adds samples to the Ice Bucket, and completes the step. Data from the run is parsed back to Clarity LIMS. In this step, pooled samples in the dry cartridge are sequenced on the MiSeq i100 Series instrument.
Do not add samples to the Ice Bucket or start and complete the AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) step. The integration does this automatically.

¹ These automations are required for CLPA support only.

Step 6: AUTOMATED - Analysis Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0)
The AUTOMATED - Analysis Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) step is fully automated. The integration starts and completes the step automatically. In this step, the secondary analysis configured using the Analysis Configuration Template (ACT) is performed in Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA). The local analysis status and results are uploaded to BaseSpace Sequence Hub which in turns passes back the data to Clarity LIMS.
There are no automations associated with this step.
Do not add samples to the Ice Bucket or start and complete the AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) step. The integration does this automatically.
Master Step Fields

How the Integration Works
The following information summarizes how the MiSeq i100 Series integration works.
After the Validate Run Setup and Create Planned Run automation is triggered on the Load to Dry Cartridge (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) step, validation of the run and analysis configuration occurs. When the validation fails, Clarity LIMS displays an error message. Otherwise, a cloud-planned run is created and available on BaseSpace Sequence Hub. The v2 sample sheet is also generated.
The planned run contains the run and analysis configuration information required to start the run on the instrument. The sample sheet is generated and stored in Clarity LIMS for reference purposes.
In Cloud run mode, analysis is performed in Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA). In Hybrid run mode, analysis is performed on-premise.
When the integration is configured with BaseSpace Sequence Hub storage and monitoring, the integration tracks the sequencing and analysis events. You can view the analysis result files in BaseSpace Sequence Hub.
If a planned run with the same sample name and project name (case-insensitive) has been created previously, the sample sheet generated from the Validate Run Setup and Create Planned Run automation can reflect the original case of the previous sample name. This can cause validation errors for analysis configurations with sample-level settings. To resolve this issue, change the sample name or the project name on Clarity LIMS and run the automation again.
Start a Sequencing Run on MiSeq i100 Series Instrument
The following sections outline the steps to start a Clarity LIMS cloud or hybrid run on the MiSeq i100 Series instrument.
Enabling Planned Run Generation for Samples Having Duplicate Name with Different Indexes
The library preparation workflow of the samples must be configured to ensure unique derived sample names before routing the samples through the library preparation workflow.

Rules and Constraints
The workflow configuration contains several validation checks. To make sure that the calculations work properly, it is important that you do not disable any of this validation logic. Refer to the individual validation checks for details.
All submitted samples must have an associated secondary analysis that is configured using the analysis configuration template (ACT). The ACT must be configured on BaseSpace Sequence Hub before starting the Assign Analysis Configuration Template step. The ACT names must be unique.
The dry cartridge barcode must be unique. There must not be multiple dry cartridges with the same name in the system.
Reagent labels, or indexes, must be unique.
Only one library pool can be added to be Load to Dry Cartridge step.
The AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) and AUTOMATED - Analysis Run (MiSeq i100 Series Sequencing v1.0) steps must not be manually started or completed. These steps are fully automated and the sequencing service does not update samples correctly if they have been manually started.
For the automated run to start successfully, you must select Validate Run Setup and Create Planned Run in the Load to Dry Cartridge step. The Load to Dry Cartridge step must be completed and libraries must be queued to the AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run step.
