How to Design a Custom Gene Panel Using Ion AmpliSeq Designer

Need a custom panel? Use Ion AmpliSeq Designer.

Ion AmpliSeq Designer is an online primer design tool that lets you create custom panels for Ion Torrent next-generation sequencing. Researchers studying germline disorders can use this tool to create Ion AmpliSeq On-Demand panels from a catalog of pre-tested genes and receive them in smaller reaction sizes, so that they can iterate panel design with efficiency and convenience.

What are Ion AmpliSeq On-Demand panels and how are they different from other Ion AmpliSeq panels?

Ion AmpliSeq Designer now offers three different types of gene panels—On-Demand, Ready-to-Use, and Made-to-Order—to help you find the design strategy that best suits your needs. Watch this video to learn how to get started (~3 min).
