# NextSeq 1000/2000 v2.4.0

The integration includes the following features:

* Preconfigured NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.3 workflow that maps to lab protocols and instrument runs.
* The following preconfigured protocols:
  * Library Pooling and Dilution (NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.3)
  * Load To Reagent Cartridge (NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.3)
  * AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.3)
  * Demultiplexing (NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.3)
* Automatic validation of run setup information before sample sheet generation or planned run creation.
* Automated generation of a sample sheet. The sample sheet is used to start the sequencing run on NextSeq 1000/2000 Control Software (NCS) via Local run mode.
* Automated creation of a planned run on Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA). The NCS retrieves and starts the planned run via Hybrid or Cloud run mode.
* Automated tracking of the NextSeq 1000/2000 sequencing run and parsing of run statistics from BaseSpace Sequence Hub into Clarity LIMS using SIS integration service.
* Automated tracking of the secondary analysis using DRAGEN (up to BCL Convert only) and parsing of demultiplexing metrics from BSSH into Clarity LIMS using SIS integration service.
* Support for parsing the unicode *Parameter.xml* file generated by NCS v1.5.
* \[Optional] Preconfigured Library Prep Validation v2.3.1 workflow used for validation purposes only. The workflow contains a single-step protocol that models the library prep workflow required to produce libraries tagged with index sequences. At the end of the step, these libraries are routed to NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.3 workflow.

* \[Optional] An integration of Clarity LIMS Product Analytics (CLPA) that make Clarity LIMS data available to the ICA and CLPA. This integration also requires installation and configuration. For more information, refer to [Clarity LIMS Product Analytics Integration v1.2 Configuration](https://help.claritylims.illumina.com/instruments-and-integrations/upa/clarity-lims-product-analytics-v1.2.0/upa-v1.2.0-configuration).
