what is Ion semiconductor sequencing makes high-quality next-generation sequencing


Now, more laboratories can adopt powerful next-generation sequencing technology to get answers faster —with increased throughput, higher accuracy, and the simplest workflow from sample preparation through to data analysis. With the Ion Torrent™ Personal Genome Machine® (PGM) System, human disease researchers can detect variants by targeted gene sequencing in cancer and genetic disorders, and microbiologists can easily type a bacteria or virus, or characterize novel microbes.
 The combination of Ion AmpliSeq™ target technology, an Ion PGM™ System, and fully automated template preparation from the upcoming Ion Chef™ System**, offers the simplest and fastest* workflow for gene panel sequencing. Get meaningful results in just half the time of the alternative, with highly multiplexed Ion AmpliSeq™ DNA panels, the walk away solution for preparing sequence-ready chips from libraries provided by the Ion Chef™ System, and faster sequencing on the Ion PGM™ System. From sample to results, there are no centrifugation steps, and half the pipetting steps and hands on time of the alternative NGS
