You can customize the kit advanced settings in the Kits step in the workflow bar.

IMPORTANT! We recommend using the default settings. Consult your local Field Service Engineer before modifying advanced settings.

  1. In the Kits step in the workflow bar, expand the Advanced Settings box, then select Customize.
  2. Edit one of the following settings.

    Setting

    Description

    Templating Protocol

    Script that the Ion Chef™ Instrument follows to perform the templating reaction. We recommend that you do NOT change this setting.

    Forward Library Key

    Select your forward library key, if you have one.

    Test Fragment Key

    Enter your test fragment key.

    Base Calibration Mode

    Select one of the following base calibration options:

    • Default Calibration—allows a random subset of wells to be used for base calibration. This option uses TMAP to align the training subset of wells and is recommended if a good reference for the template is available.

    • Enable Calibration Standard—allows wells belonging to the Calibration Standard to be selected as the training subset.

    • Blind Calibration—uses the same random subset of wells as Default Calibration but does not require an alignment step to generate the calibration model. This option is recommended if the template does not align well to a reference genome or if no reference is specified.

    • No Calibration

    See your template kit user guide for more details.

    Forward 3' Adapter

    Select your forward 3' adapter.
