Hello,
Is it possible to do a run of 60 cycles with a 50 cycles MiSeq Reagent Kit v2 ?

Hi jsvinco,
Each kit is loaded with 25 additional cycles for indexing. So unless you need both indexing reads the answer is a 'yes'. If you need both indexing reads as well as the 50 cycles you might be pushing it - we have pushed the machine 5 cycles over the total cycle count (i.e 330 cycles on a 300 kit) and it behaved (although the machine complains at set-up). Other might have gone further?
Hope this helps - Cheers, Mike. -
Thank you for your help. It's very helpful to now that.

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
