The Ion Proton sequencer is one of the first benchtop next-generation instruments to offer fast, affordable human genome and exome sequencing. The integrated touch screen communicates the ease of use made possible by this innovative technology. Special doors enable quick access to the reagents and the semiconductor chip technology contained within the compact housing.
Statement by the Jury
The system unites highly functional technology with a welcoming, playful aesthetics, which contrasts strongly with the monotonous industrial look of other sequencers.
