Altogether this allows the instrument to deliver massively parallel clonal amplification and recovery, all in a small bench top footprint. The third is the integrated centrifuge, which recovers the template Ion Sphere particles. The second is the fully integrated thermal cycler and disposable path amplification plate that enables robust thermal cycling of the microreactors. The first is the reaction filter that creates millions of microreactors in which clonal amplification occurs. The Ion OneTouch 2 Instrument may be purchased separately.Īt the heart of the Ion OneTouch 2 Instrument are three breakthrough technologies that enable automated delivery of the template Ion Sphere particles.

The Ion OneTouch 2 System consists of two modules: the Ion OneTouch 2 Instrument and the Ion OneTouch ES (Enrichment System). The need for gas is eliminated by the use of a peristaltic pump. It is flexible and supports scalable template preparation for all Ion semiconductor sequencing chips with up to 400 bases on the Ion 520/530 chips, up to 200 bases on the Ion 540 chip, up to 400 bases on the Ion PGM System, and up to 200 bases on the Ion Proton System.

This enables parallel processing of multiple samples per day through modular design. The Ion OneTouch 2 System integrates multiple manual template preparation steps into a single system. With its small footprint, the system fits easily on any bench top.įor a fully automated workflow, please see the Ion Chef Instrument. It provides scalable template preparation for all Ion semiconductor chips. The Ion OneTouch 2 System performs template amplification and enrichment as part of the manual workflow for the Ion PGM, Ion Proton, and Ion S5 and Ion S5 XL systems.
