The Ion Chef™ System simplifies the workflow for the
Ion GeneStudio™ S5 series, Ion Proton™, and Ion PGM™
systems, providing a walk-away, reproducible solution
for automated Ion AmpliSeq™ library preparation and
automated template preparation and chip loading
Ion Chef System
Automates library generation, equalization, and pooling
for Ion AmpliSeq™ 1- and 2-pool designs for up to
8 samples in a single instrument run
Simplifies template preparation and chip loading using
a single automated process for loading of up to two
I on Torrent™ semiconductor sequencing chips per
instrument run
Helps reduce sources of variability for users at all
experience levels
Helps save time and labor with just 15 minutes of hands
on time for setup prior to start of automated workflows
Supports the Ion GeneStudio S5 series, Ion PGM, and
Ion Proton systems, and all Ion Torrent semiconductor
chips and sequencing chemistries
Simple, automated workflow
The Ion Chef System simplifies the Ion Torrent
semiconductor sequencing workflow by integrating
several processes into a single instrument for maximum
efficiency and throughput (Figure 1). The entire process
is automated, whether starting from DNA samples and
obtaining equalized Ion AmpliSeq libraries or starting from
prepared libraries and obtaining a final output of up to two
sequencing-ready chips. The instrument has an intuitive
touch-screen interface, making setup easy for users at any
experience level.
Equipped with barcode-reading capabilities, the
tracking system enables identification of samples,
onboard reagents, and chips, and integrates with
Torrent Suite™ Software and/or a LIMS system. For
added assurance, the tracking system also performs
setup checks, including scanning the instrument deck
for positioning of reagents and consumables, calibration
checks, and instrument diagnostics. Combined with the
simple and robust Ion Chef System workflow, the tracking
system helps reduce user-introduced errors and variability
for maximum accuracy and efficiency.
Time and labor savings
The Ion Chef System enables time and labor savings,
with just 15 minutes of hands-on time for setup. Simply
select the run parameters using the intuitive touchscreen interface and load the library samples, reagents,
consumables, and chips onto the deck. A single run of the
Ion Chef System will produce one pooled Ion AmpliSeq
library for up to 8 samples, or up to two loaded chips for
sequencing on the Ion GeneStudio S5 series, Ion PGM
System, or Ion Proton System, in a single-day workflow.
The minimal hands-on time and walk-away automation of
the Ion Chef System enables overnight runs, helping to
maximize the productivity of your lab.
Support for Ion GeneStudio S5 series, Ion PGM, and
Ion Proton systems
The Ion Chef System supports all Ion Torrent
semiconductor sequencing chips and provides flexibility for
most project types and sizes.
Simple, automated workflow
The Ion Chef System helps reduce sources of variability
for users at any experience level by greatly minimizing
pipetting errors, providing reproducible chip loading, and
enabling sample tracking and system checks with the
onboard tracking system.
Figure 1. The Ion Chef System automated workflow includes less
than 45 minutes of hands-on time. The Ion Chef System fully automates
library preparation and template preparation and produces sequencing
ready Ion Torrent semiconductor chips.
