ION PROTON

Thermo Fisher Scientific's Ion Proton System uses the ion torrent superconductor sequencing system to provide fast, scalable, high-throughput, next generation sequencing in a compact, benchtop instrument. It is capable of producing up to 60-80 million reads, up to read lengths of 200 bases within 2-4 hours. It is suitable for human-scale genomic sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, ChIP sequencing, exome sequencing, copy number analysis, and targeted RNA sequencing. The Ion Proton instrument also features a simple touch-screen interface, low cost reagents, and accompanying software. Thermo Fisher Scientific's line of Ion Torrent sequencers utilize ion semiconductor chips that contain million of microwells, each layered underneath with an ion sensor to measure changes in pH. Template DNA that are bound to beads fill each well, proceeded by flooding of individual species dNTPs. If the DNA polymerase incorporates a complementary dNTP, a hydrogen ion is released and subsequently detected, resulting in a corresponding base call. The cycling of the reads occur in parallel, allowing for accurate, high throughput sequencing.
