Hello all, I am interested in purchasing the new Ion instrument, the S5 Prime, and was wondering if anyone has worked with the 540 chips before. We previously had an Ion Proton and used the P1 chips, and have been told the 540 is the upgrade to this chip, however I have not been able to find technical information. I know how many reads each chip claims it can produce, but since there are many variables to obtaining that max output, I am more interested in comparing how many beads I will have per chip, if the number of wells are the same, etc. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi!
There are three run reports publicly(*) available for the 540 chip here:
The "download" refers to just the PDF reports, but if you wish to download the datasets, you can use the clickable links provided in the PDF.
For example, in the NA12878 run, an 89% loading resulted in 131450564 loaded wells. That would make the 540 in equal terms with the PI, at around 148 million wells.
Overall it seems very similar to a nice, clean run done with a PI on the Ion Proton.
(*) Edit: "publicly" but you need to register on the Thermo Fisher site to access the page.Last edited by r.rosati; 02-26-2018, 07:28 AM.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
