Method Key

 
Demonstrated Method: This indicates that the method was developed for a sample preparation kit following a vendor’s published manual protocol. Each one is tested with scientifically relevant samples and has yielded results that meet the kit vendor’s specifications either in a customer lab (customer demonstrated) or in a Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Lab (Beckman demonstrated). Beckman Coulter makes no claims or warranties regarding the use or performance of these methods.
 
Illumina Qualified Method: This indicates that Illumina’s analysis of libraries prepared with the Biomek-automated method has shown the libraries to perform comparably to those prepared manually. This method is not an Illumina product, and Illumina does not directly support this product. Illumina makes no representations or warranties with respect to this product.
 
Method created and provided by kit vendor.
 
TruSight Qualified method: These methods are co-developed by Illumina and the automation partner, undergo verification testing at Illumina and are alpha tested at a user site. The methods are installed and supported by the partner, but Illumina FAS will offer method training and will provide front line support. Technical support will also offer front linesupport in order to determine if the customer issue is the method/automation or the kit.
