How many samples can I multiplex on a single chip for sequencing on the Ion PGM or Proton System?

The number of samples that can be multiplexed in a single sequencing run depends on the capacity of the chip, the size of the library, and the required coverage. A table of approximate capacities based on the size of the library and chip can be found in the Ion Ampliseq Preparation User Guide (https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/MAN0006735_AmpliSeq_DNA_RNA_LibPrep_UG.pdf) within the section “Strategies for combining Ion Ampliseq libraries.”
