Before you begin

For additional safety information, see Appendix D, “Safety“.

IMPORTANT! Before proceeding, make sure that you have updated the Torrent

Suite™ and Ion PGM™ System software to version 5.0 or later. See the Ion PGM™

System Reference Guide (Pub. No. MAN0009783) for more information.

IMPORTANT! The Ion PGM™ System is installed by trained service personnel and

must not be relocated without assistance from trained service personnel. See

“Customer and technical support“ on page 63.

IMPORTANT! A primary source of contamination is DNA fragments from previously

processed samples. Do not introduce amplied DNA into the library preparation

laboratory or work area.

IMPORTANT! Possible contamination can occur during the transfer of dNTPs into

Reagent Tubes. Be careful to avoid cross contamination of dNTP stocks. Barrier tips

are required for all pipeing steps. Change gloves after handling concentrated dNTP

stocks.

IMPORTANT! Dry ice (solid CO2) must be kept away from areas where buers, wash

solutions, or sources of molecular biology grade water for the Ion PGM™ System are

used. High air concentrations of subliming CO2 may change the pH of such buers

during or after their preparation. The stability of the pH of these buers is a critical

factor in the performance of the Ion PGM™ System.

IMPORTANT! Signicant vibration during sequencing may add noise and reduce the

quality of the measurements. The Ion PGM™ System must be installed on a bench that

is free from vibrations or in contact with equipment that can cause vibrations to the

bench (freezers, pumps, and other similar equipment).

IMPORTANT! Position the Ion PGM™ System so that the front bezel is a minimum of

12 in. (30.5 cm) and the Reagent Tubes containing dNTPs are a minimum of 8 in.

(20.3 cm) from the front of the laboratory bench. Place the instrument at least 40 in.

(1 meter) away from major sources of electronic noise such as refrigerators or

microwaves.

IMPORTANT! To avoid possible damage to the chip from static electricity, prior to

handling chips, you must ground yourself on the grounding plate (located next to the

chip clamp) by touching the grounding plate with your bare hand.

Do not place chips on non‑grounded surfaces such as a bench.

Always use the grounding plate to hold chips that are not in the package inserted in

the chip clamp or the Ion Chip™ Minifuge bucket.

WARNING! Instrumentation must be installed and operated in a well‑

ventilated environment, dened as having a minimum airow of 6–10 air

changes per hour. Assess the need for ventilation or atmospheric monitoring to

avoid asphyxiation accidents from inert gases and/or oxygen depletion, and

take measures to clearly identify potentially hazardous areas through training

or signage. Please contact your Environmental Health and Safety Coordinator

to conrm that the instruments will be installed and operated in an

environment with sucient ventilation.

Guidelines for sequencing runs

•When performing two sequencing runs from the same initialization, the second

run must be started within 24 hours after start of initialization.

• If you press the Abort buon on the sequencer touchscreen, the touchscreen may

freeze. You may need to restart the sequencer.

IMPORTANT! After aborting a run, do not open the chip clamp, reagent tubes, or

wash boles until a new run or cleaning is initiated. Doing so can cause a uid or gas

leak if the sequencer was in a pressurized state when the run was aborted. From the

main menu, select either Clean or Run, then follow the touchscreen prompts to

depressurize the system.

Guidelines to prevent cross-contamination

•Use good laboratory practices to minimize cross‑contamination of products and

reagents.

• When designing the laboratory layout, consider separating pre‑ and post-

amplication activities. To signicantly reduce the potential for contamination,

dedicate laboratory supplies and/or equipment to the appropriate space.

Guidelines for sequencing runs

Ion PGM

Hi‑Q

™

Sequencing Kit User Guide

Guidelines for pipetting

• Vortex all reagents except enzymes for ~5 seconds. Mix enzymes by icking the

tube with your nger 4 times. Briey centrifuge to collect the contents before use.

• Ensure that all reagents are completely thawed at room temperature, such that no

ice crystals are visible in the tube.

• Pipet viscous solutions slowly and ensure complete mixing.

• Change tips between pipeing steps.

Guidelines for chip handling and use

• Always remove gloves before transferring chips onto or o the instrument. Hold

chips by their edges when handling.

• To avoid damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), do not place chips directly

on the bench or any other surface. Always place chips either on the grounding

plate on the sequencer or in the Ion Chip™ Minifuge bucket.

• Used chips cannot be reused for sequencing. Used chips must be discarded or

clearly marked for cleaning and initialization.

Gas cylinders

You must supply the required nitrogen gas cylinder and accessories for the

installation. This instrument requires a pressurized house line or one size 1‑A

nitrogen gas cylinder that holds approximately 7.2 m3 (257 ft3) of gas when full. Use

only prepuried nitrogen of 99.995% (grade 4.5) or greater purity.

CAUTION! Damage to the instrument and its products can result from using

impure gas, gases other than nitrogen, or an inadequate amount of gas.

WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD. Pressurized gas cylinders are potentially

explosive. Always cap the gas cylinder when it is not in use, and aach it rmly

to the wall or gas cylinder cart with approved brackets or chains.

WARNING! Gas cylinders are heavy and may topple over, potentially causing

personal injury and tank damage. Cylinders should be rmly secured to a wall

or work surface. Please contact your Environmental Health and Safety

Coordinator for guidance on the proper installation of a gas cylinder.

To perform a leak test on the gas cylinder:

1. Open the main tank shuto valve. The high‑pressure gauge of the gas tank

regulator reads approximately 2,000–2,500 psi for a full tank.

2. Adjust the pressure to the instrument by slowly turning the pressure adjustment

valve clockwise until the low‑pressure gauge reads 30 psi.

3. Close the needle valve, then close the main tank valve.

4. Monitor the high‑pressure gauge of the gas tank regulator for 5 minutes. There

should be no noticeable drop in pressure.

If the pressure Action

Drops in 5 minutes There can be a leak at either the needle valve or the gas tank

regulator itself. Check the ﬁttings and resolve any problems,

then continue with step 5.

Does not drop in

5 minutes

The instrument passes the leak test. Reopen the main tank

valve and skip the following steps.

5. Open the main tank valve and the needle valve for at least 15 seconds to

pressurize the instrument.

6. Close the main tank valve.

7. Monitor the high‑pressure gas tank regulator gauge. There should be no more

than a 100‑psi drop in pressure after 5 minutes. Locate, then resolve any leaks.

Turn the main tank valve back on.

About Planned Runs

Planned Runs contain all the seings used in a sequencing run, including number of

ows, kit types, barcodes, sample information, and reference les (if any). They are

used to track samples, chips, and reagents throughout the sequencing workow, from

template preparation through sequencing and subsequent data analysis.

You can create a Planned Run in the Torrent Suite™ Software or Torrent Suite™ Assay

Development Software on the Torrent Server connected to your sequencer, and then

select the appropriate plan on the sequencer touchscreen when you start the run.

You can also create a Planned Run on one Torrent Server and then transfer it to

another server for sequencing. See “Enable Planned Run sharing“ on page 54 for

more information.
