Overview:
IGB offers the Ion GeneStudio S5 Series sequencers, a versatile family of next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms built on Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencing technology. The series includes the Ion GeneStudio S5 System, Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus System, and Ion GeneStudio S5 Prime System, all sharing the same core technology and fluidic architecture.
The key difference between these systems lies in on-instrument analysis time, allowing laboratories to select a configuration that best matches their throughput and turnaround requirements. Designed for flexibility, speed, and ease of use, the S5 Series supports a wide range of targeted sequencing and microbial genomics applications.
Features:
• Speed – Generates high-quality sequencing data in hours, enabling DNA library-to-data workflows in as little as 24 hours with minimal hands-on time when paired with the Ion Chef System
• Simplicity – Easy installation, intuitive interface, and cartridge-based reagents simplify operation; integrated with Ion AmpliSeq technology, Ion Chef System, and Ion Reporter Software for streamlined workflows
• Small sample input – Supports low-input DNA/RNA (as low as 1 ng), including challenging samples such as FFPE tissue, fine needle aspirates, and cfDNA
• Scalability – Flexible throughput using Ion 5 Series chips, enabling a wide range of applications from small to large projects on a single system
• Simple analysis and storage – Torrent Suite Software and Ion Reporter Software enable easy run planning, monitoring, analysis, variant annotation, and interpretation with cloud or local deployment options
• Services and support – Backed by a global network of field application specialists and service engineers for reliable technical support
