Ion Torrent 318 chips
Hi,
Has anyone out there tried the 318 chips? any insights in terms of performance?
Thanks!

They are not yet commercially available -- and I suspect beta testers are under CDA. Still, can't hurt to ask. -
Maybe they were passed around in presentations during this week's road trip. Maybe someone managed to pocket one?

I know they are not out yet. this was a "behind the scenes" question...Comment

Had some problem with the language, but the pics are great..

wow I felt like a KGB agent reading that... I mean pretending to know Russian

Good to know that the Russians and Chinese are still reverse engineering American technology. That's a surefire way to follow and not lead.Comment

Thanks for the picture! With smaller wells are we also expecting to see a drop in signal? Wondering what the delay for the 318 is...was originally supposed to be released in Mid 2011...Comment

I see, just closer together now...more crosstalk with closer wells then?Comment

I don't think the 318 is 'late' quite yet. The 316 was promised (and delivered) mid 2011. 318 was promised 6 months after that, which is right about now. I'm guessing we'll see it by AGBT.Originally posted by singaporeseq View PostComment

I was told today by an Ion Torrent service provider that it is commercially available (though they aren't yet offering it), but I don't see it in the store. Perhaps there is an expanded early access program?Comment

It is in early access (Developer Access section).Comment

Are they selling the 318, I think we're about to buy the MiSeq, but we can't keep holding on the purchase any longer... any updates on this?Comment

Looks like they just announced the commercial availability of the 318 chip (more or less on time): http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...136921308.html
For me, the surprising statement from this press release was "In the second half of 2012 we expect to increase read lengths on the Ion Torrent PGM up to 400 bases."
Rothberg was talking about 400b reads by the end of 2011 back in June. Has progress really slowed down that much?Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
