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.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What do I need to do to prep Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A49782) for use on the Genexus platform?

Remove the templating strips from their boxes in the refrigerator or freezer and get them ready them for loading in the sequencer by equilibrating to/thawing at room temperature for 30 mins. Confirm that the strip contents are completely thawed before loading in the sequencer. If you are delayed in loading, keep the thawed strips on ice or at 4 degrees C until you load them in the sequencer.

Genexus Strip 3B‑GX5 contain magnetic beads in one or two positions, yellow or brown in color, that sometimes get trapped in the upper “keyhole” of the tube. Dislodge these beads from the keyhole before installing the strip in the sequencer using the following procedure for each strip:
- Invert the strip 3-4 times to dislodge beads that are trapped in the keyholes.
- To remove any remaining beads and liquid from the keyholes, grasp the strip at one end with the strip seal facing up, then swing the strip with a rapid, downward centrifugal arm motion, ending with a sharp wrist-flick.
- Grasp the strip at the other end, then repeat the centrifugal motion.
- Check tube positions for significant amounts of beads that are still trapped in keyholes and then repeat the centrifugal motion, if needed. It is acceptable if a few beads remain in the keyhole or on the tube wall, but most should be either in suspension or in a pellet at the bottom of the tube.

What is the difference between Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A49782) and Genexus Templating Strips 3-GX5 and 4 (Cat. No. A40263)?

Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A49782) has new Genexus Strip 3B that has the chemistry modified to improve templating and sequencing of GC rich regions.

What application is Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A49782) compatible with?

Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 is specifically designed for use with the Oncomine Myeloid GX v2 assay. For all other Genexus assays, please use Genexus Templating Strips 3-GX5 and 4 (Cat. No. A40263).

What are the components of Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A49782)?

Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 provides 8 pairs of strips per kit - Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 (Part No. A47712) (Orange, 8 strips) and Genexus Templating Strips 4-GX5 (Part No. A46816) (Yellow, 8 strips). Each pair of strips is required to perform automated template preparation and chip loading of two GX5 chips using the Genexus Integrated Sequencer.

What are the shipping and storage conditions for Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A49782)?

Genexus Templating Strips 3B-GX5 (Part No. A47712) (Orange, 8 strips) ships on a gel pack and should be stored at 2 to 8 degrees C. Genexus Templating Strips 4-GX5 (Part No. A46816) (Yellow, 8 strips) ships on dry ice and should be stored at -30 to -10 degrees C.
