Hi! Is the flow cell analyzed in one go per base (as a whole), or scanned one part of the flow cell at a time, until all bases have been identified? How many cameras are there in llumina's instruments to image the flow cell? Thanks in advance!

As far as I understand, the MiSeq, HiSeq 2500, and HiSeq 4000 each have a single camera. The flow cell is divided into lanes, swaths (left/right/center depending on the machine), surfaces (top and bottom), and tiles. A single tile is imaged at a time, except during focusing. The camera moves up a swath, imaging each tile's top surface. It does all the swaths for the top surface, then goes back and does the bottom surface for each tile.
The NextSeq is slightly different, with six cameras/sensors working as a single module, simultaneously imaging six different tiles.
I can't speak to the NovaSeq or iSeq.

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
