Instrument run monitoring and data evaluation
| Platform | Quality metrics | Software | Software function |
|---|---|---|---|
| HiSeq2000 GAIIx | Raw Cluster Numbers and %PassFilter Clusters allow the assessment of cluster density and performance | HCS/SCS (Instrument Control Software) | Instrument Control Software provides a graphical interface which allows user view run status and statistics while running the instrument |
| Intensity and Phasing/Prephasing values allow assessment of the sequencing chemistry performance | RTA (Real-Time Analysis) | RTA is a component within the Instrument Control Software that monitors the run’s progress, optimizes run conditions and provides run-time quality statistics | |
| Basecall Quality Scores allow assessment of base call quality cycle by cycles | SAV (Sequencing Analysis Viewer) | SAV is an application that allows user, in real time, to view run quality metrics generated by RTA from an off-instrument remote location |
