Purge settings on the NextSeq 1000/2000

Users can choose to purge reagents from the cartridge once a run completes. Purging reagents will move the remaining contents from the reagent cartridge to the spent reagents compartment.

1. From the control software menu, select Settings.

2. Choose whether the system automatically purges unused reagents to the spent reagents compartment after each run to streamline waste disposal after run completion:

• To purge automatically, select the Purge Reagent Cartridge checkbox\*.

• To skip automatic purging, deselect the Purge Reagent Cartridge checkbox (this is the default setting).

3. Select Save.

**\***Purging unused reagents adds up to 2 hours to the workflow.
