Scalability Single sequencer. Multiple applications. Focus your efforts on applications that have the potential to be impactful. Each Ion S5 and Ion S5 XL System currently supports four different chip types that scale to various levels of sample throughput, enabling a wide range of research applications. Select from various Ion chips for a throughput range of 2 to 80 million reads per run using just one instrument. This ﬂexibility also means reduced need for sample batching to achieve optimum cost efﬁciency. Just select the chip type that matches your speciﬁc throughput or application...

Speed Because every hour counts. A few hours could make all the difference in your quest for the right answer. Unlike light-based sequencers, there are no cumbersome optics or labeled nucleotides with semiconductor sequencing technology. The Ion S5 Systems are the only benchtop NGS platforms with run times as short as 2.5 hours, and rapid DNA-to-data workﬂows that can be completed in as little as 24 hours. Sequencing run times of 2.5–4 hours DNA to data in as little as 24 hour
