# Consumables and Equipment FAQ for the TruPath Genome assay

**What is included in each kit order? Is the analysis included with the consumables?**

There will be two catalog numbers (two sample C2 kit and eight sample C8 kit), containing library prep reagents, sequencing core consumables for NovaSeq X Series, and the DRAGEN license. The cost of compute is not included. If using a local DRAGEN server there is no additional cost of compute, but if using DRAGEN in an Illumina cloud environment, there will be an additional compute cost.

DRAGEN secondary analysis is included with the product purchase.

**What is the shipping temperature of the different boxes in the TruPath reagent kits?**

Shipping temperature:

* TruPath Assay reagents: -25°C to -15°C
* NovaSeq X Series reagents: All kit components are shipped at ambient temperature, and have been qualified to remain at ambient temperature for up to 10 days during shipment.

Storage temperature:

* TruPath Assay reagents: -25°C to -15°C
* Reagent Cartridge: -25°C to -15°C
* Lyo insert: -25°C to -15°C
* Flow cell: 2-8°C
* Buffer cartridge: Room Temperature
* Library strip tube: Room Temperature

**Is any third-party equipment needed?**

Yes, users will need to supply the equipment and consumables required for any DNA extraction workflows, including high molecular weight (HMW) DNA extraction (third party kits) and DNA QC/quantification reagents (dsDNA Qubit kit to quantify DNA, and Agilent gDNA ScreenTape assayor Agilent Femto Pulse gDNA 165 kb kitfor DNA input QC). The following lab consumables are also needed: RNase/DNase-free water, single-channel pipettes (20 µl, 200 µl, and 1 or 5 ml), wide-bore 20 µl and 200 µl pipette tips, and standard bore 20 µl and 200 µl pipette tips. Consult the full list of required User-Supplied Consumables and Equipment found in the [Illumina TruPath Genome Product Documentation](https://support.illumina.com/downloads/trupath-genome-product-documentation-200065852.html).

**Which pipette tips can be used during TruPath workflow?**

Wide bore tips are recommended for mixing HMW DNA prior to preparing the sample and for mixing the final DNA mix. If these are not available, pipette slowly using a P200 tip. Standard tips are suitable for the remaining workflow, such as transferring DNA volume to strip tube (as this is likely much smaller volume), etc.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/library-preparation/general/library-preparation-general-faq-list/000010166.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
