How to identify which Manifest and Cluster Files were used to generate a GTC File

Software like Beeline, GenomeStudio, or BlueFuse Multi may show errors if loading a GTC file with a different Manifest or Cluster File that was used to create the GTC file.

To identify which Product Files were used:

  1. Open the GTC file in Notepad++

  1. The file is encrypted, but the text including the Manifest and Cluster File names is human-readable.

  2. Use Ctrl+F to search “.bpm” to find the text in the file.
