Ion Torrent™ Ion S5™ System

Ion Torrent™ Ion S5™ System 

The Ion S5™ next-generation sequencing system enables a simple targeted sequencing workflow for your lab at an affordable price, without compromising on performance or reliability. The Ion S5 System leverages the speed of semiconductor sequencing with impressive on-board computing power, to enable the production of high quality sequencing data in as little as 2.5 hours and enable you to go from DNA library to data in as little as 24 hours with only 45 minutes of total hands-on time on the Ion Chef™ System and the Ion S5 System. The Ion S5 System is simple to use with cartridge-based reagents and offers superior scalability and flexibility to support a broad range of high throughput sequencing applications, from microbial genomes and gene panels to exomes and transcriptomes, using our 5 Series chips. 

For use with equipment: Ion Chef™ System. 

Features 

• Speed: With the Ion S5 System you get results in as little as 24 hours (with a 2.5-4 hour sequencer run time and overnight Ion Chef System run)
• Simplicity: With single-day installation, a straightforward user interface, and cartridge-loaded reagents, the Ion S5 System is easy to use 
• Low input DNA for challenging samples types, such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, retrospective samples from fine needle aspirates, and cell-free DNA extracted from blood (cfDNA) can be difficult to sequence on competititor next-generation sequencers
• Scalability: The Ion S5 System has a modular build, so your lab has the flexibility to do multiple targeted sequencing applications on a single system
• Simple analysis and storage solutions
