Load Consumables
From the Load Consumables screen, use the following instructions to load the cBot reagent
plate, flow cell, and barcode labeled 8-tube strip containing prepared libraries. Depending
on the selected protocol, the software prompts you to load an 8-tube strip of additional
primers.
Load the Reagent Plate
1
Remove the clear plastic lid from the cBot reagent plate.
2
Raise the instrument lid by lifting from the cutout on the front of the lid.
3
[For TruSeq v3 reagents]
Remove the red foil seal:
a
Hold each end of the tube strip in row 10 and peel the red foil from the 8-tube strip.
Discard the foil appropriately.
b
Select the onscreen checkbox to indicate that the seal is removed.
4
Pull the reagent plate lever toward you and place the reagent plate onto the reagent
stage with the barcode label facing the back of the instrument.

5
Release the lever to secure the reagent plate.
Load the Flow Cell
1
Lift the flow cell clamp.
2
Wash the adapter plate on the thermal stage with a small amount of deionized water,
and then dry with a lint-free tissue. Do not allow fluids to drip inside the instrument.
3
Remove the flow cell from storage:
}
All flow cells except HiSeq X and HiSeq 3000/4000
—Remove the flow cell from the
storage tube using plastic forceps. Rinse with deionized water and then dry with a
lens cleaning tissue using a sweeping motion. Save the tube and buffer for later
storage.
}
HiSeq X and HiSeq 3000/4000 flow cells
—The patterned flow cell is ready to use
after flow cell preparation.
4
Position the flow cell on the thermal stage with flow cell port holes facing
upward
