# 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.
