Thermo Fisher, A34538, Ion 550™ Chip Kit, 8 Chips

The Ion 550™ Chip Kit contains eight barcoded semiconductor sequencing chips for high-throughput sequencing with compatible Ion Torrent instruments. Each chip electronically detects hydrogen ions generated during polymerase-driven nucleotide incorporation, removing the need for fluorescent optical detection. The chip format supports up to 200-base-read libraries and provides approximately 100 to 130 million reads per sequencing run, depending on the sequencing workflow. Applications include targeted resequencing, human exome studies, copy-number investigations and transcriptome analysis. The integrated electronic barcode supports traceable chip identification across library preparation, templating and sequencing. Ion 550 chips are used with Ion Chef automated workflows and the Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus, Ion GeneStudio S5 Prime or Ion S5 XL sequencing systems. They are not interchangeable with chips for the base Ion S5 or base Ion GeneStudio S5 instruments. Store the chips at 15–30 °C, inspect expiration dates and keep the work area clean to limit sample cross-contamination.
