I was wondering if anyone has actually ever successfully flushed a flow cell. I have tried three or four times and it has always failed. Today, I started with a flow cell that had 1300 pores. I loaded a library. As it turns out, I had made a huge mistake, I made my library without using ligase in the ligation step (I promise this is the first time it happened in very many libraries). IN any case, after about 5 minutes into the run, I realized it was a mess and then also realized my mistake. I thought, no problem, I'll just flush the cell and reload a new library. I flushed the cell, waited 60 minutes, as is required, and checked the flow cell. It had only 580 pores available, so it was not possible to reload it. Really?
