Add-ons

Enable and review add-on capabilities for your ElemBio Cloud organization.

Add-ons enable additional capabilities in ElemBio Cloud and AVITI OS. The Add-Ons page displays the add-ons for your organization. The View History button displays add-on history for the organization.

To enable or renew an add-on, contact Element Technical Support or a sales representative.

For offline instruments, consult the resource for downloading an Add-On Key

Add-on features

The Add-Ons page displays cards for each add-on for your organization. The cards display the following information:

• Add-on name and description
• Instrument availability
• Icons for impacted products, such as the AVITI System or ElemBio Cloud
• An expiration date or No Expiry badge
• A subscription term or Lifetime badge

Note:

When an add-on expires, the card displays a red badge with the date of expiration for the next 30 days. After 30 days, the card disappears, and a record of the add-on only appears in the add-on history.

ElemBio Catalyst

ElemBio Catalyst is a subscription-based native data storage and analysis add-on within ElemBio Cloud. For more information, see ElemBio Catalyst.

Individually addressable lanes

The Individually Addressable Lanes add-on enables loading two library pools, one in each lane of a flow cell. The second library is loaded into the AUX well of the sequencing cartridge. Enabling individually addressable lanes enacts the following run planning changes:

• When you add a planned run and choose a compatible sequencing kit, the option to select a number of library pools becomes available.
• Planned runs that use individually addressable lanes become unavailable on instruments without the add-on. For more information on planned run compatibility, see the compatibility table for run planning.

Kit compatibility for individually addressable lanes

The Individually Addressable Lanes add-on is only compatible with sequencing kits that meet the following requirements:

• Cloudbreak or Cloudbreak Freestyle chemistry
• 2 x 75 and 2 x 150 size
• A high-, medium-, or low-output designation.

Caution:

The Individually Addressable Lanes add-on is not compatible with any 2 x 300 size sequencing kits, Cloudbreak UltraQ, or Trinity sequencing kits. The cartridges in these kits reserve the AUX well for other reagents and cannot accommodate a second library.

High output kits

The High Output Kits add-on enables sequencing with high-output kits. Planned runs that use high-output kits become unavailable on instruments without the add-on.

Advanced run settings

The Advanced Run Settings contain add-on features that allows experienced users to modify primary analysis and recipe configurations for sequncing runs. The add-on includes various features, which Element can enable or disable. Cloudbreak UltraQ is not compatible with these features.

Enabling the advanced setting add-on features enacts the following sequencing run planning changes:

• When you add a planned run and choose a compatible sequencing kit, ElemBio Cloud enables the options to select available settings for the feature.
• Planned runs that use a feature become unavailable on instruments without the specific feature enabled. For more information, see the compatibility table for planned runs.

Filter mask

The Filter Mask feature modifies the cycles used for filtering, which is advantageous for certain applications. Applying the feature causes run output data and on-instrument run metrics to account for the filter mask.

PMG shift

The PMG Shift feature allows the user to shift (dark-cycle) up to 20 cycles of PMG (Polony Map Generation). This feature is compatible with Cloudbreak based chemistry kits with Adept or Third Party libraries that support advanced run settings without low-diversity high-multiplex enabled (Cloudbreak and CB Freestyle).
