Targeted DNA panels for any genome

If the Ion AmpliSeq ready-to-use panels don't match your gene targets, then simply select a subset of the targets or enter your specific genomic content online and we will design and create customized Ion AmpliSeq NGS panels just for you.



Targeted DNA panels
for any genome


Design & order your panel

Creating and ordering custom gene panels is easy with the Ion AmpliSeq Designer—a free, online assay design tool that connects you directly to our assay design pipeline.  Panels can be designed against a number of preloaded genomes, or for any other organism by uploading your own FASTA file reference sequence.

Preloaded reference genomes available

Custom panels are delivered in tubes of prepooled, multiplexed primers in ready-to-use concentrations.  You can add 384-well plates to your order, in which each well contains individual primer pairs in concentrated format.  For custom panels with ≤96 primer pairs, you will receive 2,250 total reactions.  For custom panels with >96 primer pairs, you will receive 9,000 total reactions.
