The Ion AmpliSeq SARS-CoV-2 Insight Research Assay leverages a unique targeted sequencing approach that yields improved coverage and uniformity from samples previously unobtainable by NGS. Incorporation of intelligent panel design provides an increased resilience to new mutations introduced within the viral genome. Integrated analysis tools enable automated consensus sequence generation, mutation annotation, and lineage assignment.

Demonstrated >98% Reads on Target and coverage uniformity obtained from sequencing samples with low viral titer as indicated by real-time PCR results. Sample measurements represent N=2 and average Ct value was used in analysis. Libraries were generated using the Ion AmpliSeq SARS-CoV-2 Insight Research Assay manual preparation protocol and sequenced on a Ion 540 Chip.
