One of the most exciting developments in biology has been the invention of next‑generation sequencing (NGS). NGS enables the interrogation of up to thousands of genes at once from multiple samples, aiding in the discovery and analysis of a wide variety of features of the genome. It has the advantages of requiring low amounts of sample input, high accuracy, and the ability to detect low frequency variants, making it especially useful in clinical research applications.

Despite the clear improvements that NGS offers over other methods, more laboratories need access to NGS technologies and NGS results need to be delivered faster for these benefits to be fully realized. To help address these needs, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a wide array of Ion Torrent products for NGS, including instrumentation, assay kits, reagents, consumables, and software, all designed to make NGS faster, easier, and more accessible to laboratories worldwide.
