Yes, you are able to configure read lengths (including index reads) up to a maximum of 634 cycles for our 2x300 kit, 334 cycles for our 2x150 kit, and 184 cycles for our 2x75 kit in any split needed. However, due to potential drops in performance, read lengths greater than the standard value for the kit (i.e. >300 for R1 or R2 in a 2x300 kit) are not recommended or validated. We do not recommend increasing index reads to greater than 32bp.
Can I use asymmetric read length conditions on a run, i.e. 200+100 for a 300 cycle kit?
