Illumina now shipping all MiSeq v1 chemistry with v2 box2 of 2?

[pmiguel]

Just noticed this morning that we have 4 remaining v1 chemistry reagent packs (box 1 of 2) but at 4 oC we have only 2 remaining v1 boxes -- these include the flow cell and the PR2 bottle.

Illumina tech support seems a little uncertain, but claims that there should be no difference between Miseq v1 and v2 box2 of 2 reagents. So, apparently some of the v1 chemistry reagent kits we were shipped with v2 box 2 of 2 reagents.

Also tech support says the reagent cassette RFID is "dominant" over the flow cell RFID so the v1 reagent cassettes (the -20 oC box 1 of 2) will specify v1 conditions for the run.

Flow cell part numbers are the same for V1 and V2. I can't say for 100% that the pr2 is the same, but I believe it is also.

Any one figure out how to hack the RFIDs? Thinking of pooling the scraps of runs which fail to cluster.
