Claim 17:
18. The instrument of claim 15, wherein, the instrument is operable to flow the buffer reagent such that:
a first volume of the buffer reagent is flowed in the forward flow direction of each cycle of the plurality of cycles;
a second volume of the buffer reagent is flowed in the reverse flow direction of each cycle of the plurality of cycles, the first volume being greater than the second volume;
an incubation period of substantially no flow of the buffer reagent through the reagent management system and flow cell is imposed for about 10 seconds or more after the last cycle of the plurality of cycles; and
