Ion Torrent™ Ion OneTouch™ 2 Instrument

Ion Torrent™ Ion OneTouch™ 2 Instrument
The Ion OneTouch 2 Instrument performs template amplification as part of the manual workflow for the Ion PGM, Ion Proton, Ion S5, and Ion S5 XL systems. It provides scalable template preparation for all Ion semiconductor chips. The instrument has a small footprint and fits easily on any bench top.
For use with equipment: Ion GeneStudio S5 System, Ion PGM™ System, Ion Proton™ System, Ion S5™ XL System.
Features
Efficiency and flexibility: The Ion OneTouch 2 System integrates multiple manual template preparation steps into a single system. This enables parallel processing of multiple samples per day through modular design. 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. The need for gas is eliminated by the use of a peristaltic pump.
Contributing technologies: At the heart of the Ion OneTouch 2 Instrument are three breakthrough technologies that enable automated delivery of the template Ion Sphere particles. The first is the reaction filter that creates millions of microreactors in which clonal amplification occurs. The second is the fully integrated thermal cycler and disposable path amplification plate that enables robust thermal cycling of the microreactors. The third is the integrated centrifuge, which recovers the template Ion Sphere particles. Altogether this allows the instrument to deliver massively parallel clonal amplification and recovery, all in a small bench top footprint
