Workflow Changes Using v2 Kits
The HiSeq X HD Reagent Kit v2 introduces a denaturation step before clustering on the
cBot. Using the previous kit version, non-denatured libraries are added to the ExAmp
reaction in an 8-tube strip. Using the v2 kit, libraries are denatured in the 8-tube strip
before adding the ExAmp reaction mix.
Using the 20-pack kit requires that you cluster 4 flow cells at a time. Each tube of
ExAmp reagent is sufficient for preparing 4 flow cells. Make sure that 4 cBot instruments
are available to begin clustering of the flow cells before preparing the ExAmp reaction.

HiSeq X Patterned Flow Cell
The HiSeq X flow cell is a patterned flow cell with billions of ordered nano-wells. The
wells are manufactured into the glass of the flow cell allowing for the generation of
sequencing clusters in an ordered arrangement. Clusters are aligned closely together
increasing the number of output reads and amount of sequencing data generated. The
HiSeq X patterned flow cell contains 8 lanes with 2 swaths per lane, and has the same
general dimensions as a HiSeq high-output flow cell.
The patterned flow cell is provided in the HiSeq X HD Reagent Kit v2, and shipped dry
in a foil-wrapped package. Inside the foil package, the flow cell is packaged in a
protective plastic clamshell case.
Figure 2 Example of Clusters on a Patterned Flow Cell

the cBot software.
16
Part # 15058861 Rev. A
Clustering reagents provided in the HiSeq X HD Reagent Kit v2 are used on the cBot. To
prepare reagents, thaw the cBot reagent plate and prepare the ExAmp master mix.
NOTE
If you are using the 20-pack kit to sequence 4 flow cells, thaw 4 cBot reagent plates. Make
sure that 4 cBot instruments are available. Reagents cannot be stored after preparation.
Best Practices
} Wear a fresh pair of gloves when preparing clustering reagents.
} The clear plastic lid on the reagent plate protects the foil seal from being damaged or
punctured during thawing. Remove the lid only when you are ready to load the cBot
reagent plate onto the cBot.
} Always prepare freshly diluted NaOH for denaturing libraries for cluster generation.
This step is essential to the denaturation process.
} To prevent small pipetting errors from affecting the final NaOH concentration,
prepare at least 1 ml of freshly diluted 0.1 N NaOH.
} After completing the reagent preparation steps, proceed to setting up the cBot for
clustering and load reagents when prompted.
Thaw the cBot Reagent Plate
The cBot reagent plate takes approximately 60 minutes to thaw using a room
temperature water bath. Alternatively, you can thaw reagents at 2°C to 8°C overnight,
not to exceed 16 hours.
1
Remove the cBot reagent plate from -25°C to -15°C storage.
Do not to puncture the foil seals.
2
Place the reagent plate in a water bath containing enough room temperature
deionized water to submerge only the reagent plate base. Allow reagents to thaw for
60 minutes. Make sure that reagents have thawed before proceeding.

Prepare Clustering Reagents
Prepare Clustering Reagents
Thaw EPX1, EPX2, EPX3, and RSB
The following reagents are used to create the ExAmp master mix and dilute libraries.
1
Remove 1 tube each of the following reagents from -25°C to -15°C storage.
• Single-pack kit—EPX1, EPX2, EPX3, and RSB. Each tube contains sufficient
reagent for 1 flow cell.
• 20-pack kit—EPX1M, EPX2M, EPX3M, and RSB. Each tube contains sufficient
reagent for 4 flow cells.
2
Thaw each tube at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes. Do not vortex.
3
When thawed, place on ice until you are ready to prepare the ExAmp master mix.
Prepare a Fresh Dilution of NaOH
CAUTION
Using freshly diluted NaOH is essential in denaturing libraries for cluster generation on
the HiSeq.
1
Prepare 1 ml of 0.1 N NaOH by combining the following volumes in a
microcentrifuge tube:
• Laboratory-grade water (900 µl)
• Stock 1 N NaOH (100 µl)
2
Invert the tube several times to mix.
NOTE
A fresh dilution of 0.1 N NaOH is required for the denaturing libraries and a PhiX control.
After denaturing libraries, you can set aside the remaining NaOH to prepare a PhiX
control within the next 12 hours. Otherwise, discard the remaining dilution of NaOH.
Denature Libraries and Add Optional PhiX Control
The library loading concentration depends on the libraries to be sequenced. The
following instructions apply to either TruSeq Nano DNA (350 bp) or TruSeq DNA PCRFree libraries. Make sure that you dilute to a concentration appropriate for the library
type.
} Too high DNA loading concentration leads to reduced %PF.
} Too low DNA loading concentration leads to reduced or unacceptable %PF, and
high % duplicates that negatively affect depth of coverage.
18
Part # 15058861 Rev. A
1
Dilute the library or pooled libraries to one of the following concentrations:
• TruSeq Nano DNA libraries—Dilute to 2–3 nM in RSB.
• TruSeq DNA PCR-Free libraries—Dilute to 1–2 nM in RSB.
2
[Optional] Spike-in 1% non-denatured Illumina PhiX control to non-denatured libraries:
• TruSeq Nano DNA libraries—Add 0.5 µl 2–3 nM PhiX to 50 µl 2–3 nM library.
• TruSeq DNA PCR-Free libraries—Add 0.5 µl 1–2 nM PhiX to 50 µl 1–2 nM
library.
3
Label a new 8-tube strip #1 through #8.
NOTE
If using the 20-pack kit to prepare 4 flow cells, consider adding another designator on
the 8-tube strip for proper sample tracking.
4
To denature the library, add the following volumes to the labeled 8-tube strip in the
order listed:
a Add 5 µl of non-denatured library into the bottom of each well.
b Add 5 µl of freshly diluted 0.1 N NaOH. Using a P10 or P20 pipette set to 5 µl,
slowly pipette up and down 10 times to mix the reaction.
c Incubate for 8 minutes at room temperature.
d Add 5 µl of 200 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0. Using a P10 or P20 pipette set to 5 µl,
slowly pipette up and down 10 times to mix the reaction.
5

them onto the cBot when prompted by the cBot software.
If you prepared reagents for 4 flow cells using the 20-pack kit, load reagents and flow
cells on 4 cBot instruments.
Clustering takes approximately 3 hours. After clustering, the patterned flow cell can be
stored in the flow cell storage buffer provided in the kit up to 48 hours at 2°C to 8°C. For
workflow instructions on the cBot, see the cBot User Guide (part # 15006165).
During clustering on the cBot, prepare SBS and paired-end reagents for the HiSeq X.

Next Steps
Prepare SBS Reagents
SBS reagents are loaded onto the instrument at the beginning of the run. To prepare
reagents, use the following instructions to thaw and inspect PSM, PIM, and PCM. Use
PB1 and PB2 directly from 2°C to 8°C storage.
If you are using the 20-pack kit for 4 sequencing runs, make sure that you prepare the
appropriate number of reagent bottles for each SBS reagent.

Thaw SBS Reagents
1
Remove PSM, PIM, and PCM from -25°C to -15°C storage and thaw at 2°C to 8°C for
about 16 hours.
Alternatively, thaw PSM and PIM in a water bath filled with room temperature
deionized water for about 90 minutes. Thaw PCM in a separate water bath. Replace
your gloves after handling PCM.
2
Invert each bottle several times to make sure that the reagents are mixed thoroughly.
NOTE
PSM requires thorough mixing. Visibly inspect the solution to make sure that it is
homogeneous and that no swirling patterns are visible before proceeding.
3
Inspect the reagents to make sure that the reagents are thawed completely and free of
ice crystals.
4
When thawed, set PSM and PIM aside on ice until you are ready to load reagents.
Do not set PSM and PIM on ice with PCM.
5
When thawed, set PCM aside on ice separately to prevent cross-contamination.
Replace your gloves after handling PCM.
NOTE
Remember to invert each bottle several times before loading SBS reagents onto the
instrument.
