Table 2a: Quality Scores (XLEAP Chemistry Kits)

| 1 x 50 bp | ≥ 90% of bases higher than Q30 at 1 x 50 bp | | 2 x 50 bp | ≥ 90% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 50 bp | | 2 x 100 bp | ≥ 90% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 100 bp | | 2 x 150 bp | ≥ 90% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 150 bp | | 2 x 300 bp | ≥ 85% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 300 bp |

Table 2b: Quality Scores (Standard Chemistry Kits)

| 1 x 50 bp | ≥ 90% of bases higher than Q30 at 1 x 50 bp | | 2 x 50 bp | ≥ 90% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 50 bp | | 2 x 100 bp | ≥ 85% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 100 bp | | 2 x 150 bp | ≥ 85% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 150 bp | | 2 x 300 bp† | ≥ 80% of bases higher than Q30 at 2 x 300 bp |

A quality score (Q-score) is a prediction of the probability of an error in base calling. The percentage of bases ≥ Q30 is averaged across the entire run. Quality scores are based on NextSeq Reagent Kits run on the NextSeq 1000 and 2000 System using an Illumina PhiX control library. Performance may vary based on library type and quality, insert size, loading concentration, and other experimental factors.

Considerations when running 600 cycle P2 300 M read kits at read lengths <600 cycles (eg, 2x150 bp run with a 600 cycle kit)

Q30: ≥ 80% Q30 new specification will apply for shorter runs. Kits that are less than 600 cycles will continue to use established ≥ 85% Q30 or ≥ 90% Q30 for each respective kits.

Yield: If running the 600-cycle P2 kits at a total read length <600 cycles, expect yield based on the 300 M single-end reads/clusters specification, not yield based on the specifications for the 100-, 200-, and 300-cycle P2 kits. For example, a 2x150 cycle run performed with a P2 600-cycle kit can expect a yield of 90 Gb, compared to 120 Gb if the same run was performed with a P2 300-cycle kit.

Table 3a: Run Time (XLEAP Chemistry Kits)

1 x 50 bp				~12 hours
2 x 50 bp	~8 hours	~12 hours	~18 hours	~20 hours
2 x 100 bp		~19 hours	~31 hours	~34 hours
2 x 150 bp	~17 hours	~22 hours	~40 hours	~44 hours
2 X 300 bp	~34 hours	~42 hours
Approximate time per cycle	1.7 min	3.4 min	6.4 min	7.4 min

Table 3b: Run Time (Standard Chemistry Kits)

Flow Cell Type	P1*	P2	P3**
1 x 50 bp			~11 hours
2 x 50 bp	~10 hours	~13 hours	~19 hours
2 x 100 bp		~21 hours	~33 hours
2 x 150 bp	~19 hours	~29 hours	~48 hours
2 X 300 bp†	~34 hours	~44 hours
Approximate time per cycle	2.8 min	4.8 min	8.5 min

Run time includes cluster generation, sequencing, and base calling on a NextSeq 1000 or NextSeq 2000 system.

NextSeq 1000/2000 control software version 1.5 of the NextSeq 1000/2000 Control Software introduces compatibility with the new 600-cycle P1 and P2 kits; older versions of the control software are not compatible.

*P1 flow cells require NextSeq 1000/2000 control software version 1.4 or greater. **P3 flow cells are available for the NextSeq 2000 only.

† P1 and P2 600 cycle kits require NextSeq 1000/2000 control software version 1.5 †† 600 cycle kits guarantee 300 M reads because data quality over yield was prioritized and fewer tiles are imaged as compared to 100, 200, 300 cycle kits to achieve 400M reads.†

^ XLEAP reagents require NextSeq 1000/2000 control software version 1.7 or greater. ✧ P3 and P4 flow cells are available for the NextSeq 2000 only.
