I'm using unique dual index primer pairs for my experiments. I'm multiplexing around 12 samples per NextSeq run. I don't know how to create a custom library in BaseSpace that will allow me to assign the unique primer pairs to all my samples as it's limited by a 12 x 8 format (12- i7 indexes and 8-i5 indexes, I need to be able to enter 12 i5 indexes). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ran into a similar issue recently. If you have the Dx version of the NextSeq, there is a software update that can do FASTQ generation on the machine similar to the MiSeq.
The other option is a work around where you will have to create two custom library kit. Each kit can do 8 UDI samples if you set your samples in a diagonal so that each row and column will have an unique index. After that just pool them together in the pool tab in BaseSpace. -
I don't have the Dx version but your workaround will be just fine, I didn't think it would let me combine samples from two different "kits". Thanks for the help!Comment

custom library
Here's the bulletin from Illumina describing how to create a custom library prep kit in BaseSpace.Comment

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...
