Does anybody know where I can get IonTorrent services performed?

Split this out to a new thread hoping more people will see it. -
Ambry Genetics (http://ambrygen.com/) is the first authorized customer service provider for Ion Torrent sequencing.
Cheers,

We will be sending some samples to Ambry Genetics. We've used them for sequencing and microarray projects before. I was happy with the results.Comment

We can offer Ion Torrent services. I would be happy to provide more information! Feel free to send me an email with your information!

EdgeBio is offering the service, $1250 per sample with sequencing alignment to reference, $1850 per sample with variant detection, variant annotation, and de novo assembly of microbes. One week turn time.Comment

in "Field guide to next-generation DNAsequencers" Glenn lists the minimum cost of an ion torrent run (a full 314 chip) at $750 ("Typical full cost (i.e. including labour, service contract, etc.) of the smallest generally available unit of purchase at an academic core laboratory
provider for the longest available read").
Anyone know where this? I'm not aware of any academic facilities offering ion torrent sequencing...Comment

I think this place does, but you'll have to confirm with them:

VBI offers this as well
Hello, the VBI core lab offers this service as well. Price is coming soon, but should be about $750 internal to VT. This would be about $1100 external.

For those offering services, what are generally the sample input req and deliverables? We have interest coming from the latest application note of 265 bp reads with better quality than the Illumina platform, but would like to see data generated on our samples.Comment

Looks like there is another one out there in Denmark:
It's an academic core facility.Comment

Service providers are starting to pop up all over the place. Now they are even specializing in a specific subset.
These guys:
... seem to be jumping on the ampliseq bandwagon and doing clinical applications. When I spoke with them, they mentioned BRCA and HNPCC. I just wish I had budget to get a system... so many ideas, so little time!Comment

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...06-18-2026, 07:11 AM -
Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
