The Ion Torrent Genexus Dx Templating Strips 3-GX5 and 4 kit provides eight each of the strips required to perform automated template preparation and chip loading of two GX5 Dx chips using the Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer.

The Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device intended to be used by trained personnel in a professional laboratory environment for automated, qualitative targeted sequencing of human DNA or RNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue samples or plasma samples.

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use. Not available in all countries or regions.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How should I prep Genexus Dx Templating Strips 3 and 4-GX5 for use on the Genexus Dx platform?

Remove the templating strips from their boxes in the refrigerator or freezer, and prepare them for loading in the sequencer.
- Genexus Dx Strip 3-GX5 needs to equilibrate to room temperature for 30 mins.
- Genexus Dx Strip 4 needs to thaw on ice for at least 30 mins. Keep the strips on ice until you load them in the sequencer.
Genexus Dx Strip 3-GX5 contains 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. Use 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, 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 contained in the Genexus Dx Templating Strips 3 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A50431)?

Genexus Dx Templating Strips 3 and 4-GX5 (Cat. No. A50431) provides eight pairs of strips, required to perform automated template preparation and chip loading of two Ion Torrent GX5 chips using the Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer. The Genexus Dx sequencer uses 2 strips (Genexus Dx Strip 3-GX5 and Genexus Dx Strip 4) to support template preparation. One template strip pair is required for every lane that is used in a run.
