This listing is for a Life Technologies Ion Torrent OneTouch 2 with OneTouch ES

The Life Technologies Ion OneTouch 2 with Ion OneTouch ES comprises two modules: the Ion OneTouch™ 2 Instrument and the Ion OneTouch™ ES (enrichment system). It simplifies the workflows by providing an automated solution for scalable and reproducible template preparation. It is used for DNA sequencing in healthcare, lab and life sciences. It streamlines the overall Ion semiconductor sequencing workflow, yielding significant time savings and increasing sequencing productivity. The system enables parallel template processing with sample sequencing on the Ion Proton™ or Ion PGM™ sequencers. This reduces the time from sample to sequence to a single day and enables processing of multiple samples per day. The combination of Ion semiconductor sequencing and the Ion OneTouch™ 2 System maximizes the speed of each experiment and minimizes the overall time to completion for each project. The modular design also allows for QC of Ion Sphere™ particles, to maximize experimental control and the success of each experiment.

Features:

Integrates multiple manual template preparation workflows into a single system

Enables parallel processing of multiple samples per day through modular design

Supports scalable template preparation for all Ion semiconductor sequencing chips

Supports up to 400 bases on the Ion PGM™ System and up to 200 bases on the Ion Proton™ System

Includes a full thermal cycling modality for amplification for quick optimization of thermal cycling parameters
