GX5™ Chip and Genexus™ Coupler

The Ion Torrent GX5 Chip and Genexus Coupler includes two GX5 chips and two Genexus couplers, sufficient for two initializations of the Ion Torrent Genexus Integrated Sequencer. The GX5 Chip generates 12–15 million sequencing reads per lane, or 48–60 million reads per chip. The four-lane chip design provides maximum flexibility for sample processing, enabling sequencing of one to four lanes per run, with the in-use stability to utilize any remaining lanes within two weeks of the initial run.

As part of the Genexus Integrated Sequencer workflow, the GX5 Chip:
• Achieves 12–15 million reads per lane for 200–400 base-read libraries
• Maximizes flexibility with the ability to utilize one to four chip lanes per run
• Enables parallel processing of up to four compatible assays in a single run
• Supports intake variability of clinical research samples

The Ion Torrent Genexus Integrated Sequencer automates library preparation, sequencing, analysis, and reporting in a hands-off, walkaway workflow to deliver results in a single day. The innovative, multilane sequencing chip is designed to enable cost-effective processing of 1 to 32 single pool libraries.
