Understanding and Optimizing Loading Concentration for Patterned Flow Cells

In this webinar, our Technical Support team will cover the principles of loading concentration and optimization for patterned flow cells, including key concepts such as cluster density, as well as the metrics and tools needed to assess and optimize your experiments.

The session provides practical guidance for Illumina platforms using patterned flow cells (iSeq 100, MiSeq i100 Series, NextSeq 1000/2000, NovaSeq 6000, and NovaSeq X Series) and with a special focus on optimization and titration runs for MiSeq i100 and NovaSeq X Series .

Suitable for both new and experienced users looking to further optimize their runs.
