Thermo Fisher Ion Torrent PGM

Offered here is a used Thermo Fisher Ion Torrent PGM, the Personal Genome Machine, a benchtop next generation sequencing system that uses semiconductor sequencing technology to deliver rapid DNA sequencing results. The Ion Torrent PGM was designed to bring affordable, fast sequencing to smaller labs, and it supports targeted sequencing, amplicon sequencing, and small genome projects using Ion chip based chemistry. It remains a recognizable entry point instrument for labs building out sequencing capability. This unit has been used in a laboratory setting and has been checked for proper function of its fluidics, semiconductor sensor interface, and control software prior to listing. The PGM pairs with Ion chips of varying throughput to allow labs to scale a run according to project needs, and it integrates with Torrent Suite software for base calling, alignment, and variant analysis. Its simplified workflow made it popular for microbial genomics, targeted panels, and educational sequencing applications. Laboratories or institutions looking for an economical entry into next generation sequencing will find this Ion Torrent PGM a practical acquisition. It is sold as used equipment, reflecting typical wear from lab service, and remains functional for supporting sequencing based research, teaching, and applied genomics projects.
