Hi, we are in the works of determining how to properly dispose of the formamide from P3 100 Cycle Kits in accordance with Laws and Regulations. Does anyone know if you HAVE to do the optional purge to get all of the formamide out of the Kits, and into the waste? Additionally, would anyone know which location on the picture below is the formamide location? Most other Illumina systems make disposing of the formamide much more seemless, and from reading FAQs, Reference Materials, and Product Documentation it is not the clearest. Thank you!

The NextSeq 2000 formamide waste isn't accessible to the general user, what you would need to do is instruct the instrument to do a reagent purge (this dumps any excess volume of all reagents into the common waste). Instructions for how to do this are posted by Illumina here: https://knowledge.illumina.com/instr...list/000003039
Then, you'll need to empty that waste from the spent reagents compartment by removing the rubber plug at the end of the cartridge. The % formamide is shared by Illumina here: https://knowledge.illumina.com/instr...list/000001544

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
