Focused NGS Solutions for SARS-CoV-2 Research
Unlike other next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches, Ion Torrent focused NGS solutions for SARS-CoV-2 research provide the speed, scalability, and precision you need to spend more time finding answers and less time looking for them.
Ion Torrent targeted NGS can be used for research of viral typing, viral discovery, epidemiology (contact tracking, tracing, and surveillance), host genetics and immune response, vaccines and therapeutics research.
Benefits of targeted NGS for SARS-CoV-2 research include:
- Rapid turnaround time
- Automated workflow
- End-to-end solution from nucleic acid to analysis
- Accuracy of variants
- Low input requirements
- Compatible with challenging samples
Targeted NGS solutions for SARS-CoV-2 research
Viral research: SARS-CoV-2 discovery, typing and epidemiology
Where did the virus come from?
How does it work?
How is it potentially being transmitted?
Study these common epidemiology questions with rapid, automated, and accurate targeted NGS that enables complete genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in under a day
Video: learn about importance of targeted NGS for emerging research applications in SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology and transmission studies
Host genetics and immune response, mechanisms, and progression
