What is the Flow Cell check and Warranty? As part of our quality control process, all of our flow cells are quality-checked before shipping and we guarantee a minimum pore count throughout the warranty period. Performing the flow cell check prior to sequencing allows the customer to confirm that the flow cell meets the warranty and has enough pores after storage to generate high outputs. Flow cells that fail the warranty are not expected to deliver optimal outputs and will be replaced free of charge.

What is the warranty on my Flow cells? The flow cell check returning the pore count should be performed immediately before sequencing, rather than on receipt of the flow cell. The warranty period commences from receipt of the flow cells and any warranty failures should be reported within 2 business days. All flow cells should be stored at 2-8°C from receipt to ensure optimal performance.

Note: The warranty applies only to flow cell checks performed before the first sequencing run on the flow cell. It does not apply to flow cell checks performed after sequencing and washing with the Flow Cell Wash Kit.
