# NovaSeq 6000Dx API-based v1.2.0

The integration includes the following features:

* Preconfigured NovaSeqDx v1.2 workflow that maps to lab protocols and instrument runs.
* The following preconfigured protocols:
  * Run Format (NovaSeqDx v1.2)
  * NovaSeqDx Standard (NovaSeqDx v1.2) (supports the loading of pooled libraries into a library tube)
  * NovaSeqDx Xp (NovaSeqDx v1.2) (supports individual lane loading on the NovaSeq)
  * AUTOMATED - NovaSeqDx Run (NovaSeqDx v1.2)
* Automated generation of v2 sample sheet. This file is automatically uploaded to the instrument via the API.
* Automatic validation of run setup information. This information is used to create the run recipe and initiate the run.
* Automated tracking of the NovaSeqDx sequencing run and parsing of run statistics into Clarity LIMS, including the following features:
  * Progress and metrics of sequencing run
  * Per-instrument sequencing runs (tracked as part of the Run ID field value)
  * Sequencing run parameters
  * Sequencing run data directory location
  * Real-Time Analysis v3 (RTA3) version and other run-specific information
  * \[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 required to produce normalized libraries that are ready for the NovaSeqDx v1.2 workflow. For more information, refer to [NovaSeq 6000Dx Integration v1.2.0 User Interaction, Validation and Troubleshooting](https://help.claritylims.illumina.com/instruments-and-integrations/novaseq6kdx/novaseq6kdx-v1.2.0/novaseq6kdx-v1.2.0-user-interaction-validation-and-troubleshooting). The Library Prep Validation v2.3.1 workflow is available in the Illumina Preset Protocols (IPP) v2.6 package.
