*Install specifications based on Illumina PhiX control library at supported cluster densities (between 610-678 K clusters/mm2 passing filter using TruSeq v3 Kits or 700-820 clusters/mm2 passing filter using TruSeq Rapid Kits. Run times for rapid run mode correspond to on-board cluster generation (1.5 hr) and sequencing; for high output mode, run times correspond to sequencing only. Performance may vary based on sample quality, cluster density, and other experimental factors. Early HiSeq 2000 instruments will run slightly slower when upgraded to a HiSeq 2500.
