Precautions
IMPORTANT! A primary source of contamination is spurious DNA fragments from
previous sample processing steps. Do not introduce amplied DNA into the library
preparation laboratory or work area.
IMPORTANT! To avoid possible damage to the chip due to electrostatic discharge,
ground yourself before picking up a chip or placing a chip on a surface such as a lab
bench. For example, touch the metal trim on the chip compartment before inserting or
removing a chip from the chip clamp.
WARNING! The protection that is provided by the equipment can be impaired
if the instrument is operated outside the environment and use specications,
the user provides inadequate maintenance, or the equipment is used in a
manner that is not specied by the manufacturer (Thermo Fisher Scientic).
Guidelines for using Ion Chef reagents and consumables
To ensure the proper function of the Ion Chef Food Protection System, handle the
associated consumables and reagents according to the following guidelines:
Store all consumables and cartridges under the recommended conditions and in
an upright position.
Inspect all consumables and cartridges for damage on arrival and again before
use.
Hold sequencing chips by gently gripping them by their edges.
When the instrument is not in use, remove all consumables and reagents from the
deck and close the instrument door.
Do not reuse any consumables or reagents. All components are single-use only.
Note: Each new Tip Cartridge v2 is used by the instrument for multiple
pipeing steps, but after each run, the empty Tip Cartridge v2 is transferred to
the waste tip station.

Ion 510
& Ion 520
& Ion 530
Food Protection Kit–Chef User Guide
Use only specied kits and supplies with the Ion Chef Food Protection
Instrument. The use of third-party reagents and supplies can adversely aect the
performance of the instrument and chips.
Remove and sequence chips within 1 hour after the instrument nishes loading
them. If you cannot sequence a loaded chip immediately, store it in a chip storage
container at 4°C until you are ready to run it (up to 6–8 hours maximum).
Note: If you choose to store a loaded chip, remove the chip from 4°C storage (but
keep it in the chip storage container) at least 20 minutes before running it,
allowing the chip to warm to room temperature.
Prepare the instrument for use
Before you use the Ion Chef Food Protection Instrument:
Ensure that the instrument has been cleaned following the previous run. If not,
clean the instrument before loading it with consumables.
Note: For more information on the cleaning procedure, see Chapter 7, “Clean the
Ion Chef Food Protection System“.
Inspect the empty compartments of the Reagents and Solutions stations for
condensation. Condensate can collect in these compartments, depending on
temperature and humidity conditions. Before loading consumables into the
instrument, wipe the compartments dry with a laboratory wipe or absorbent
cloth, if needed.
Thaw the Ion 510 & Ion 520 & Ion 530 Chef Reagents cartridge at room
temperature for 45 minutes before use.
Ensure that the instrument has a connection to the Torrent Server. On the
instrument home touchscreen, touch Seings, then Torrent Server to view the
connection status.
Note: If the instrument is not connected, see Ion Chef and Torrent Server Network
Setup User Guide (MAN0013444) for instructions on how to congure a direct or
indirect network connection.

About Planned Runs
Planned Runs are digital instructions that are created in Torrent Suite Software for
controlling the template preparation and sequencing instruments. Planned Runs
contain seings such as number of ows, kit types, barcodes, sample information, and
reference les (if any). Planned Runs are also used to track samples, chips, and
reagents throughout the workow, from template preparation on the Ion Chef Food
Protection Instrument through sequencing on an Ion GeneStudio S5 Food Protection
Instrument and subsequent data analysis. Each chip that is prepared in an Ion Chef
run requires its own Planned Run.
IMPORTANT! For more information on creating a Planned Run in Torrent Suite
Software, including a complete description of each eld in the Create Plan workow
bar, see the Torrent Suite Software Help, available by clicking the Help buon in the
software.
Create an NGS Food Authenticity template
Create one or more NGS Food Authenticity templates for your Planned Runs.
Detailed information on creating Planned Run templates is provided in the Torrent
Suite Software Help.
Dierent SGS All Species ID DNA Analyser library preparation kits require dierent
numbers of ows during sequencing, and the number of ows is controlled by the
Planned Run. Therefore, you may have to create dierent Planned Run templates,
depending on the library kits you are using. A single Planned Run template
containing 600 ows can be used for all SGS All Species ID DNA Analyser library
preparation kits. However, if using only the SGS All Species ID DNA Analyser library
