Planned Runs

Planned Runs are the digital instructions for the sequencing instrument that contain specifications for sample preparation, sequencing, data export, and post-sequencing data analysis. A Planned Run contains all of the settings that are used in a sequencing run. A Planned Run tracks samples, chips, and reagents throughout the sequencing workflow, from library preparation through subsequent data analysis.

The details that you specify for items depend on the assay and the sequencing instrument that you use. For example, the Plan Run template specifies a default chip type, but you can change the chip based on your throughput needs. Changing the chip triggers changes in the sequencing kit and template kits.

For more information, see the user guides for the specific assays and sequencing instrument that you plan to use.
