Ion 550™ Single Chip Supplemental Kit for Agrigenomics - FAQs

The Ion 550 Kit-Chef contains Ion Chef templating and sequencing consumables sufficient for preparing and sequencing eight Ion 550 chips for four Ion Chef runs and four sequencer initializations (dual chip run configuration). If you are running in the single chip configuration, then you will need to purchase the Ion 550 Single Chip Supplemental Kit separately to ensure that you have enough templating and sequencing consumables to support eight single chip Ion Chef templating runs and eight sequencer initializations with the Ion 550 Kit-Chef.
