# Indexed Sequencing workflows with 5' to 3' directionality

**Single-Indexed Sequencing**The single-indexed sequencing workflow applies to all Illumina sequencing platforms, where an Index Read follows Read 1.

**Dual-Indexed Workflow on a Paired-End Flow Cell**

**Forward Strand Workflow:** MiniSeq with Rapid Reagent kits and the MiSeq.

**Note**: While MiniSeq Rapid reagents allow for dual indexing, Read 2 cannot be performed with the MiniSeq Rapid reagent kit.

**Reverse Complement Workflow:** iSeq 100, MiSeq i100 (read-first sequencing), MiniSeq with Standard reagent kits, NextSeq 500/550, NextSeq 1000/2000, NovaSeq 6000 with v1.5 reagent kits, and NovaSeq X Series.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/library-preparation/general/library-preparation-general-faq-list/000005679.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
