About This Guide
CAUTION ABBREVIATED SAFETY ALERTS. Hazard symbols and hazard
types specified in procedures may be abbreviated in this document. For complete safety information, see the safety appendix on page 30.
Purpose
This guide describes how to perform genotyping of low-concentration DNA with the Juno™ 96.96 Genotyping IFC (integrated fluidic circuit) on the Juno™ system. This is possible through advanced microfluidics technology that integrates preamplification and genotyping reactions of up to 96 samples and 96 genotyping assays in a single workflow on an IFC.
The IFC produces 9,216 genotypes in less than three hours using a simple workflow with minimal hands-on time. Samples are loaded into individual inlets of the Juno 96.96 Genotyping IFC, then distributed across multiple reaction chambers in nanoliter-volume aliquots. With high-quality samples, detecting the specific targets requires thermal cycling for preamplification and PCR for genotyping on the instrument.
After genotyping is performed on the Juno system, the IFC is scanned on the EP1™ system or the Biomark™ HD system to collect genotyping data for later analysis.

How to Use This Guide
The chapters in this guide are organized according to assay type. Refer to the appropriate chapter to run the Juno 96.96 Genotyping IFC on the Juno system.
For detailed instructions on instrument and software operation, refer to the Juno System User Guide (PN 100-7070).
Safety Alert Conventions
This guide uses specific conventions for presenting information that may require your attention. Refer to the following safety alert conventions.
Safety Alerts for Chemicals
Fluidigm follows the United Nations Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for communicating chemical hazard information. GHS provides a common means of classifying chemical hazards and a standardized approach to chemical label elements and safety data sheets (SDSs). Key elements include:
About This Guide
How to Use This Guide
Pictograms that consist of a symbol on a white background within a red diamond­shaped frame. Refer to the individual SDS for the applicable pictograms and warnings pertaining to the chemicals being used.
Signal words that alert the user to a potential hazard and indicate the severity level. The signal words used for chemical hazards under GHS:
DANGER Indicates more severe hazards.
WARNING Indicates less severe hazards.
Safety Alerts for Instruments
For hazards associated with instruments, this guide uses the following indicators:
Pictograms that consist of a symbol on a white background within a black triangle­shaped frame.

About This Guide
Safety Data Sheets
Signal words that alert the user to a potential hazard and indicate the severity level. The signal words used for instrument hazards:
DANGER Indicates an imminent hazard that will result in severe injury or death if not avoided.
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in minor or moderate personal injury.
IMPORTANT Indicates information necessary for proper use of products or successful outcome of experiments.
Safety Data Sheets
Read and understand the SDSs before handling chemicals. To obtain SDSs for chemicals ordered from Fluidigm Corporation, either alone or as part of this system, go to fluidigm.com/sds and search for the SDS using either the product name or the part number.
Some chemicals referred to in this user guide may not have been provided with your system. Obtain the SDSs for chemicals provided by other manufacturers from those manufacturers.

Best Practices
Use good laboratory practices to minimize contamination of samples. Use a new
pipette tip for every new sample. Whenever possible, separate pre- and post­PCR activities. Dedicate laboratory materials to designated areas.
Unless otherwise specified, thaw reagents at room temperature, then use them at room temperature. Store reagents at their specified storage temperatures. (See “Required Kit Contents” on page 8.)
Vortex reagents for 20 seconds, and then centrifuge reagents for 2 seconds before use.

Required Kit Contents
The kits include the reagents required for preparing 10 IFCs to use on the Juno system. For suggested kits, see “Suggested Kits” on page 28.
IMPORTANT
• Do not pipet reagents from the TaqMan and SNPType assay kits into the same IFC.
Use a different IFC for each kit. Do not mix reagents from different kits.
• Unless otherwise specified, thaw reagents at room temperature, then use them at
room temperature. Store reagents at their specified storage temperatures. Vortex reagents for 20 seconds, then centrifuge reagents for 2 seconds before use.
