New Ion 550 Chip enables speed and flexibility with excellent data quality

“Exome trios are straightforward in a single Ion 550 chip run. We’ve also run mouse transcriptome, DNA and RNA panels. Data quality is excellent; comparable with our Ion 540 chip data.”

—Adam Ameur, Genome Center, University of Uppsaala, Sweden
“We have already adopted the new chip in our workflows so that we can gain significant time and cost advantages.”

—Inger Jonasson, Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, University of Uppsala, Sweden
