How does the NovaSeq 6000 Xp workflow differ from NovaSeq 6000 standard workflow?

The NovaSeq 6000 standard workflow allows for one library pool to be loaded in all lanes of the flow cell; however, the Xp workflow enables the sequencing of different library pools in each lane of the NovaSeq 6000 flow cell. The ExAmp/library mix is prepared manually then loaded onto the flow cell using the NovaSeq 6000 Xp Flow Cell Dock.

The recommended loading concentrations for the standard workflow are higher than the Xp workflow. For more information on both workflows, refer to the NovaSeq 6000 Denature and Dilute Guide.
