What is the maximum allowable index length?

Index lengths in the AVITI OS Software version 2.5.0 or greater are not restricted with the exception of Elevate Index 1, which must have at least 4-cycles. Index lengths up to 55bp have been tested successfully, but not fully validated. We have not tested lengths greater than 55bp. Please note that Bases2Fastq can demultiplex a maximum index lenght of 16-cycles. Index FASTQ files >16-cycles can be generated.
