Applied Biosystems instruments have a proud history of leading the biotechnology industry. Inventors of fluorescence-based automated sequencing technology as well as real-time PCR science, we are now among the world’s leading companies pioneering next-generation sequencing as well as numerous other innovations. Unless otherwise noted, all instruments are for research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Sequencing instruments

 
Instrument

Personal Genome Machine™ (PGM™) Sequencer

Single day workflow from sample to annotated variants for gene panel sequencing featuring Ion AmpliSeq™ target technology, Ion PGM™ System, and the upcoming, automated Ion Chef™ System.**

  • Most accurate for multiple gene panels
  • Lowest cost to buy and run

Ion Proton™ System

The Ion Proton™ System removes the high cost and complexity of today's genome-scale sequencing, bringing it to your lab, on your budget, and on your schedule.

  • End-to-end workflows for rapid, high-quality sequencing results
  • Ideal for exome and transcriptome sequencing
