The HID Ion Chef System is the next generation of workflow simplification products for the HID Ion GeneStudio S5 Series sequencers. The HID Ion Chef System provides automated library preparation, template preparation, and chip loading for users at any experience level. In less than 15 minutes of up-front hands-on time and with the use of pre-packaged library preparation reagent kits, the HID Ion Chef System provides a convenient walk-away workflow resulting in equalized, pooled libraries ready for templating. The automated workflow supports Precision ID panels for both one- and two-pool designs. After library preparation, less than 15 minutes of hands-on time is required to set up the HID Ion Chef System to perform fully automated template preparation, producing one or two chips ready for sequencing. Automating your sample preparation workflows on the HID Ion Chef System results in significantly higher productivity.
