Ion 510™ Food Protection Chip Kit

Simplify sample tracking and sequencing with the Ion 510™ Food Protection Chip Kit as a part of Thermo Scientific™ Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Food Authenticity Workflow incorporating Ion Torrent™ Next Generation Sequencing technology.

The Thermo Scientific NGS Food Authenticity Workflow allows identification of meat, plant or fish species present in even the most challenging sample types, protecting your business from food fraud.

The Food Protection Ion 510 Chip Kit contains eight barcoded chips for sample tracking and sequencing with the Ion GeneStudio S5 Food Protection sequencing system.

Identification of the species present in food and feed samples is a critical step for proof of authenticity, verification of origin, traceability of raw materials, and quality control of handling and cleaning processes in food production lines. The Ion 510 Food Protection Chip Kit allows identification of meat, fish or plant species present in all food types as a part of complete NGS Food Authenticity Workflow.

• Rapid: run times of only 2.5–4 hours, generating 2–3 million reads.
• Simple: easy handling and loading of templated products for sequencing using the Ion Chef
• Flexible: simultaneous analysis of multiple samples on a single chip using sample labeling with unique barcodes

The NGS Food Authenticity Workflow utilizes  Ion Torrent™ Next Generation Sequencing technology to enable an untargeted screening approach making it possible to identify the species contained in a food sample by comparison with a DNA database of meat, plant or fish species.

As a part of the Ion Torrent™ sequencing workflow, the Ion 510 Food Protection Chip Kit electronically detects polymerase-driven base incorporation without the use of fluorescence and offers easy handling and loading of templated products for sequencing.
