Performing a run on the Illumina® NextSeq® 500 requires a single-use NextSeq 500 Kit.
Each kit includes 1 flow cell and the clustering and sequencing reagents required for
performing a sequencing run.
The flow cell, reagent cartridge, and buffer cartridge use radio-frequency identification
(RFID) for accurate consumable tracking and compatibility.
NextSeq 500 Kit Catalog Numbers
The NextSeq 500 Kit is available in a high output kit and a mid output kit.
} The high-output kit contains a high-output paired-end flow cell, a compatible
reagent cartridge, a buffer cartridge, and an accessory kit.

Number of Cycles
150 cycles
Provides reagents for up to 150 cycles (2 x 75 cycles) of sequencing and 2
index reads of 8 cycles each.
75 cycles
Provides reagents for up to 75 cycles (1 x 75 cycles) of sequencing and 2
index reads of 8 cycles each.
The NextSeq 500 flow cell is a paired-end flow cell. A single-read run can be performed
on a paired-end flow cell when the run is set up to perform only Read 1 and any index
reads. Make sure that the libraries to be sequenced are compatible with a paired-end
flow cell.
Kit Compatibility Labeling
Kit components are labeled with color-coded indicators to show compatibility between
flow cells and reagent cartridges. It is important to load the appropriate reagent cartridge
depending on the flow cell type that you are using for the sequencing run. The buffer
cartridge is universal.
To help identify compatible kit components in storage, each flow cell and reagent
cartridge label is marked with either High or Mid. The labeling appears on the outer
packaging of the kit component and on the individual kit component.
Always check the label markings when you prepare consumables for a run.

As soon as you receive your kit, promptly store the kit components at the indicated
temperature to ensure proper performance.

NextSeq Dual Indexing Primers
Hybridization Buffer
BP13 is the Index 2 primer mix required for dual-indexed sequencing on the NextSeq
500. Load BP13 for all dual-indexed runs. If you are sequencing single-indexed libraries,
BP13 is not required.
NOTE
Dual indexing on the NextSeq 500 requires NextSeq Control Software (NCS) v1.2.2, or
later.
HT1 is used to dilute libraries before sequencing. For more information, see Denaturing
and Diluting Libraries for the NextSeq 500 (part # 15048776).

Flow Cell Overview
Figure 1 Flow Cell Cartridge
A
B
C
Lane pair A—Lanes 1 and 3
Lane pair B—Lanes 2 and 4
Flow cell cartridge frame
The flow cell is a glass-based substrate on which clusters are generated and the
sequencing reaction is performed. The flow cell is encased in a flow cell cartridge.
The flow cell contains 4 lanes that are imaged in pairs. Lanes 1 and 3 (lane pair A) are
imaged at the same time. Lanes 2 and 4 (lane pair B) are imaged when imaging of lane
pair A is complete. Each lane is imaged in small imaging areas called tiles.
NOTE
Although the flow cell contains 4 lanes, a single library or set of pooled libraries is
sequenced on the flow cell. Libraries are loaded onto the reagent cartridge from a single
reservoir and transferred automatically to the flow cell to all 4 lanes.
8
Part # 15048775 Rev. G
The reagent cartridge is a single-use consumable with RFID tracking and foil-sealed
reservoirs that are prefilled with clustering and sequencing reagents.
Figure 2 Reagent Cartridge
Before setting up the run, manually add prepared libraries into the designated reservoir
on the reagent cartridge. You can add a single library or a pool of indexed libraries. After
the run begins, libraries are transferred automatically from the reservoir to the flow cell.
The reagent cartridge includes several reservoirs reserved for the automatic post-run
wash. Wash solution is pumped from the buffer cartridge to the wash reservoirs in the
reagent cartridge, through the system, and then to the spent reagents cartridge.
Each reservoir on the reagent cartridge is numbered. Do not pierce the foil seals unless
instructed to do so to load libraries before a run, for example.
WARNING
This set of reagents contains formamide, an aliphatic amide that is a probable
reproductive toxin. Personal injury can occur through inhalation, ingestion, skin
contact, and eye contact. Dispose of containers and any unused contents in accordance
with the governmental safety standards for your region. For more information, see the
SDS for this kit at support.illumina.com/sds.html.

The buffer cartridge is a single-use consumable containing 3 reservoirs prefilled with
buffers and wash solution. The contents of the buffer cartridge are sufficient for
sequencing 1 flow cell.

Part # 15048775 Rev. G
To prepare the reagent cartridge for a sequencing run, first thaw the cartridge and then
inspect the larger reservoirs to make sure that reagents have thawed completely.
Thaw the Reagent Cartridge
1
Remove the reagent cartridge from -25°C to -15°C storage.
2
Place the reagent cartridge in a water bath containing enough room temperature
deionized water to submerge only the base of the reagent cartridge.
3
Allow the reagent cartridge to thaw in the room temperature water bath for
approximately 60 minutes or until it is thawed completely.
4
Remove the cartridge from the water bath and gently tap it on the bench to dislodge
water from the base of the cartridge. Gently dry the base of the cartridge.
Thaw BP13
1
Remove the tube of BP13 from -25°C to -15°C storage.
2
Thaw the tube of BP13 at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3
Invert the tube and visually inspect the contents to make sure that the primers have
thawed.
Inspect the Reagent Cartridge
1
Invert the reagent cartridge 5 times to mix the thawed reagents.
2
From the bottom of the reagent cartridge, visually inspect the reagents in the large
reservoirs in positions 29, 30, 31, and 32. Make sure that these positions are fully
thawed.
3
Gently tap the cartridge on the bench to reduce air bubbles in the reagents.

Remove a new flow cell package from 2°C to 8°C storage. Make sure that the flow
cell is compatible with the reagent cartridge as marked by High or Mid on the flow
cell packaging label.
2
Set the flow cell package aside at room temperature for 30 minutes. Do not remove
the flow cell from the packaging.
NOTE
Allow the flow cell to reach room temperature before proceeding. If the foil
packaging is intact, the flow cell can remain at room temperature up to 12 hours. You
can return the packaged flow cell to 2°C to 8°C storage for later use 1 time only.
Avoid repeated cooling and warming of the flow cell.
