Ion S5 XL / PGM

Sequencing Platforms

The Ion S5 XL system provides us a wide range of throughput flexibility, which is great news for our customers because that means we have a greater ability to offer you more affordable sequencing prices. With four different chip types, the Ion S5 XL system has the capability of producing as little as 2 million reads, for those smaller projects, all the way up to 80 million reads for those large population studies.

 

Not only does the flexibility to choose between chip types provide you with lower sequencing cost, but it also allows for a more rapid turnaround time. We aren't just sequencing service providers, we are active members of the scientific community, and at MR DNA, we fully understand the need to meet the deadlines for grant applications and journal submissions. The ability to choose between the four Ion chip types means that we can sequence your samples right away, and avoid the lag time created by the financial need to wait on submissions from other customers before we can begin your sequencing run. Please feel free to contact us to see how the Ion S5 XL can be an integral part in your next research project.
