Ion Torrent PGM Sequencing System – ION PGM2 + Ion OneTouch 2

• Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher Scientific / Ion Torrent
• Type: benchtop next-generation sequencing (NGS) system
• System includes:
• Ion PGM™ Sequencer (ION PGM2)
• Ion OneTouch™ 2
• Technology: Ion Torrent Semiconductor Sequencing
• The sequencing reaction is detected by measuring pH changes caused by the release of hydrogen ions during nucleotide incorporation.
• The technology does not use conventional fluorescent labeling or optical detection.
• The Ion PGM system was designed for various NGS applications, including targeted sequencing, gene analysis, microbiology, virology and small-genome sequencing.
• The system historically supported Ion 314, Ion 316 and Ion 318 sequencing chips with different capacities.
• Ion OneTouch 2 is used for automated template preparation and amplification on Ion Sphere Particles prior to sequencing.
• Purchase date: 2015 - In operation until: 2021

Note: Full operation requires compatible consumables, sequencing chips, reagents and other system components. Thermo Fisher lists dedicated template-preparation kits for Ion OneTouch 2 and compatible sequencing kits and chips for the Ion PGM system.
