Thermo Fisher Scientific Ion AmpliSeq SARS-CoV-2 Research Panel

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Ion AmpliSeq SARS-CoV-2 Research Panel. It consists of two pools with amplicons 125 to 275 base pairs in length that cover more than 99 percent of the viral genome, and requires as little as 1 ng of total RNA input. The panel runs on the Ion GeneStudio S5 sequencer and was recently optimized to also run on the Ion Torrent Genexus system.
