# Sample Sheet Templates

Sample Sheet templates for TSO 500 v2.5.x standalone DRAGEN server and Platform Core manual launch analysis can be found below. For auto-launch compatible sample sheets, use BaseSpace Run Planner.

DRAGEN TSO 500 analysis software is compatible with several instruments and assay workflows (standard, XP), each of which have implications for the sample sheet.

Sample sheet templates contain all required fields, including index sequences in the proper orientation for all indexes from a given library prep kit. The templates are provided as a starting point for creating a sample sheet manually when launching analysis on a standalone DRAGEN server or on Platform Core using manual launch.

{% hint style="info" %}
For interactive run planning or to create a sample sheet for Platform Core Auto-launch, use [BaseSpace Run Planner](https://basespace.illumina.com/) to create valid sample sheets for either local or cloud analysis. To set up a run in BaseSpace run planner, refer to [Sample Sheet Creation in BaseSpace Run Planner](/tso500/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/run-planning/sample-sheet-creation-in-basespace-run-planning-tool.md).

Users can visit the [Sample Sheet guidelines](/tso500/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/run-planning/sample-sheet-requirements.md) section to learn additional details on required fields and values as they fill-in their sample information. Use the lookup table below to select and download the sample sheet template that matches your instrument, assay, and workflow configuration:

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/tso500/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/run-planning/sample-sheet-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
