  • Affordable sequencing for all

The Ion Proton™ System has been designed with affordability in mind. The system combines semiconductor sequencing technology with biochemistry to directly translate chemical information into digital data. This eliminates the need for expensive optics and complex sequencing chemistries, resulting in a sequencing system that is highly-affordable to own and operate.

  • Scalable, flexible throughput

Chip-based semiconductor sequencing enables you to scale your runs to your research needs. The Ion PI™ Chip provides you with 40–80 M reads, enabling you to sequence 1–3 human exomes or 1–8 human transcriptomes per run.

  • Fast, simple workflows

1Construct library

Ion Torrent™ library kits deliver simple, high-performance library solutions for exome, transcriptome, and genome sequencing that are optimized for use with Ion semiconductor sequencing systems.

2Prepare template

The Ion Chef™ System* will provide high-throughput automated template preparation and chip loading for users of all expertise. Lower-throughput users can choose the Ion OneTouch™ 2 System, available now, for fully automated template preparation.

3Run sequence

The Proton™ System is ideal for sequencing transcriptomes and exomes. The sequencing run time is only 4 hours, enabling the entire workflow from library to primary data analysis results in under 24 hours. Torrent Suite™ Software offers simple run setup using predesigned workflows and run monitoring in real-time.

4Analyze data

Integrate, annotate and interpret your DNA variants faster and more easily using Ion Reporter™ Software, available in the cloud or on a local server.

 

The Ion Proton™ System offers a complete workflow from sample through analysis, and variant calling or RNA analysis. It is used with the Ion Chef™ System* to enable automated, high-throughput template preparation and reproducible chip loading for users of any experience level. Built for speed, the Ion Proton™ System provides sequencing run times from 2–4 hours on the Ion PI™ Chip, taking you from DNA to variants in a single day. It is equipped with Ion Reporter™ Software, providing integrated tools for tertiary data analysis for DNA variation analysis across single, paired, or trio research samples.
