I just had a similar "Object reference" failure about 185bp into read 1. In our case, cluster density was very low (Nextera XT normalised libraries pooled and diluted as per instructions but according to user, library concentration prior to going into normalisation step sounds low - 1-5ng/ul compared to 20-30ng/ul with libraries I've prepared myself).
Density was only 133K/mm2 which is way lower than our worst run to date (min 700k/mm2). We typically run 900-1300k/mm2.
Thanks for the tip on getting the MiSeq to analyse the data from the failed run, though - user wants to have a look at it although without the index reads I suspect it will be fairly meaningless.

Did you try to restart the run using the same cell and reagent set? It worked several times, I just used shorter run times and even got paired read completed. The reads have a lot of Ns and low quality regions, but with aggressive cleaning substantial set of useful data can be recovered. My feeling is sometimes BioAnalyzer traces are misleading in regard to average library size as contamination with shorter fragments can be significant yet not clearly visible. That results in a large portion of clusters being shorter then anticipated and vertical focus unexpectedly fails hitting the floor. That is usually signified by steep declines in the signal intensities on the graphs.

Here is my earlier post how to do this.
Bridged amplification & clustering followed by sequencing by synthesis. (Genome Analyzer / HiSeq / MiSeq)
If the run has aborted during read 1, then reagents are OK. However, if run terminated normally, either SE or PE, then reagents cannot be reused as MiSeq spits back something (backflush?) and ruins remaining reagents. What a waste!Last edited by yaximik; 03-18-2013, 07:15 AM.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...-

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...-
