Manually change Ion Chef™ Instrument run status

An Ion Chef™ Instrument run must have a status of Planned before a sequencer can start a sequencing run. If the connection between an Ion Chef™ Instrument and Torrent Suite™ Software is temporarily lost or interrupted, the status of the Ion Chef™ run may be marked as Reserved, even if the run has completed. To resolve this problem, you can manually change the status to Planned and enable the run for sequencing.

  1. In the Plan tab, click Planned Runs.
  2. Find the Planned Run of interest (with a status of Reserved), then click (Actions) > Completed on Chef .

    The status for the Ion Chef™ Instrument run on the Planned Runs screen changes from Reserved to Planned. The sequencer can now use the Planned Run to start a sequencing run.
