Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What Ion Sphere Particle (ISP) format is used with Ion Chef workflows?

The Ion Sphere Particles (ISPs) used depend on the chip type selected for the workflow. Each Ion Chef kit includes ISPs that are specific to the corresponding chip type to support template preparation.
What is the difference between the Ion S5 System and the Ion GeneStudio S5 System?

The Ion S5 System and the Ion GeneStudio S5 System have the same functionality and support the same consumables, chip types, and assays. The Ion S5 System was rebranded as the Ion GeneStudio S5 System, and only the GeneStudio S5 System is currently manufactured.
Can I run the Ion GeneStudio S5 System/Ion Chef Instrument at lower humidity levels (10-20% humidity) rather than the 40% humidity recommended in the user guide?

We do not recommend running the Ion GeneStudio S5 System/Ion Chef Instrument in environmental conditions other than our recommended operating conditions. When the instrument runs within a lower humidity range of 10-20% there are risks to the electronics, as low humidity levels are likely to lead to electrostatic discharges. Damage to the electronics can result in run failure and hence performance cannot be guaranteed. Please ensure that the instrument is run at the recommended humidity of 40%.
With Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution, how long does a "pulse clean" take to complete?

It takes approximately 47 mins to do a "pulse clean",
When using Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution, where in the software should I select "pulse clean"?

Go to "System tools" and select "pulse clean". The instrument must already have been cleaned after a run.
What are the dimensions of the bottles in Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution?

Here are the bottle dimensions:
- Length (Metric) 61 mm
- Height (Metric) 131.1 mm
- Width (Metric) 61 mm
How many bottles of Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution do you provide in Cat. No. A34172?

The kit contains 2 bottles of Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution.
Which instruments is Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution compatible with?

Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution is compatible with GeneStudio S5/GeneStudio S5 Plus/GeneStudio S5 Prime systems and Ion S5/Ion S5 XL systems.
When should I use Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution?

Ion S5 2X Cleaning Solution is used to perform a pulse clean of your Ion S5 Sequencer (GeneStudio S5/GeneStudio S5 Plus/GeneStudio S5 Prime systems and Ion S5/Ion S5 XL systems) to either recover the instrument performance from a diagnosed solid-state buffer leak or perform preventative maintenance if the instrument has not been used for several months.
Is the Ion GeneStudio S5 System compatible with the Ion One Touch 2 System?
