No, the NovaSeq 6000 reads the RFID (radio-frequency identification) from the Illumina library tube, which is required to start the run. Different tube types cannot be used in place of the Illumina library tube.
Illumina sells a NovaSeq Library Tubes Accessory Pack, which includes 24 library tubes. This pack can be purchased using catalog number 20014015.
