Do not close your browser while uploading. Progress is shown in the bottom-right. Allow up to 24 hours for processing. Results and statuses will appear in the Cohorts and Metadata section.
Occasionally a sample will fail to upload. Here are a number of possible causes:
  • Poor internet connection
  • Internet connection interruption
  • Browser closed while uploading
  • Incorrect primer pairs
  • Corrupted or low quality data files
Other notes:
  • If a sample fails to upload, you can retry it
  • If a sample is not in the proper format or fails to run for another reason, the status will show “failed” and you will not be charged a credit.
  • If you have problems uploading or with a failed sample, please submit a help ticket or email us at help@cosmos-hub.com.
