The Ion Personal Genome Machine (PGM) System combines semiconductor sequencing technology with natural biochemistry to directly translate chemical information into digital data, democratizing sequencing and making it accessible to your lab. This established system leverages the exponential improvements in the semiconductor industry (known as Moores Law) to provide scalability and flexibility for various applications. The Ion PGM System uses natural sequencing chemistry, which eliminates the need for expensive optics and reduces complex chemistries to measure natural DNA extension. The system leverages direct, real-time sequencing detection, providing sequencing results typically in 37 hours.
Affordable sequencing for small genomes and targeted panels
Other sequencing technologies rely on optical systems as bridges between chemical and digital sequence information. These systems typically entail significant additional costs; the elimination of the optical system by the Ion PGM System reduces these costs. With its small benchtop footprint, weight of about 65 lbs (30 kg), low-cost sequencing reagents, and simple touchscreen user interface, the Ion PGM System brings next-generation sequencing to your lab. Coupled with the Torrent Suite Software, the Ion PGM System performs preliminary reference genome alignment and outputs data in BAM format for easy downstream analysis with optional third party analysis tools. It can also provide access to a web portal for data review and sharing
