CARLSBAD, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thermo Fisher Scientific and the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology at Mount Sinai today announced the selection of a suite of 16 next generation sequencing (NGS) systems and ancillary technology from the Ion Torrent portfolio for genomics research in a new, state-of-the art facility designed for studies requiring large volumes of samples.
In October 2014, eight Ion Proton Sequencers, eight Ion Chef Systems, the Torrent Suite Variant Caller and AmpliSeq Custom Panels will be deployed in Mount Sinai’s new genomics research center located in Branford, Connecticut. This highly automated NGS facility will focus on large volume sequencing projects for research applications. Thermo Fisher collaborated with Mount Sinai researchers to develop custom AmpliSeq targets derived for gene targets chosen by Mount Sinai investigators to comprise the largest custom panel to date (26,000 amplicons across two pools).
