Product overview

An automated platform for library and template preparation in compatible Ion Torrent sequencing workflows.

Ion Chef automates preparation tasks within compatible Ion Torrent sequencing workflows, including Ion AmpliSeq library preparation, template preparation and chip loading. Cartridge reagents, a touchscreen interface and built-in quality checks reduce manual processing steps. The instrument is a preparation system, not a sequencer; the appropriate sequencing instrument and consumables are selected separately.

  • Automated preparation and chip loading
  • Cartridge-based reagents
  • Integrated quality checks
