Ion Proton™ Sequencer Workflow

1 Construct Library

Ion library kits deliver simple, high-performance library solutions for exome, transcriptome, and genome sequencing that are optimized for use with Ion semiconductor sequencing systems

2 Prepare Template

The Ion Chef™ System*will provide high-throughput automated template preparation and chip loading for users of all expertise. Lower-throughput users can choose the Ion OneTouch™ 2 System, available now, for fully automated template preparation.

3 Run Sequence

The Proton™ System is ideal for sequencing of transcriptomes and exomes. The sequencing run time is only 4 hours, enabling the entire workflow from library to primary data analysis results in under 24 hours. Torrent Suite™ Software offers simple run setup using predesigned workflows and run monitoring in real-time.

4 Analyze Data

Data from sequencing runs streams automatically to the Proton™ Torrent Server that contains Torrent Suite Software. Torrent Suite Software processes the raw voltage semiconductor sequencing data into DNA base calls.
