Note:
·
The system uses RFID technology to verify that the proper reagents are loaded in positions 3, 5, and
6. Reagents that exceed their expiration date or usage count generate an error message prompting
the user to replace the reagent before performing the run.

Before you begin
The Ion S5
™
Sequencer, Ion S5
™
XL Sequencer, and Ion GeneStudio
™
S5 Series Sequencer are
equipped to verify the compatibility of each chip and consumable that is loaded during initialization
and sequencing, and that these components do not exceed their expiration date. To avoid exceptions
during initialization, inspect this information for each consumable before installing onto the instrument.
• Unbox the Ion S5
™
ExT Sequencing Reagents cartridge 45 minutes before use, then allow it to
equilibrate to room temperature.
Do not remove the Ion S5
™
ExT Sequencing Reagents cartridge from its packaging until
immediately before loading, so that you can return the unused cartridge to storage if your
sequencing run is delayed.
• Unbox the Ion S5
™
ExT Wash Solution bottle. Invert the bottle 5 times within its vacuum-sealed
bag, then swirl at an angle to mix thoroughly.
• Remove the Ion S5
™
ExT Wash Solution bottle from its vacuum-sealed bag, then remove the red
cap from the Ion S5

When a manual cleaning of the sequencer is required
The Ion S5
™
Sequencer, Ion S5
™
XL Sequencer, and Ion GeneStudio
™
S5 Series Sequencer require
that a cleaning be performed before initialization. Cleaning is normally performed automatically at the
completion of the previous sequencing run. When two sequencing runs are performed on a single
initialization, the post-run cleaning is performed after the second sequencing run. However, if the
"Enable post-run clean" checkbox (see “Start the sequencing run”
) is deselected to
allow a second run, and a second run is not performed, the instrument will not allow the subsequent
initialization to proceed until a manual cleaning has been performed. For more information on how to
perform a manual cleaning, see “Perform a manual cleaning of the sequencer”
If the sequencer is initialized and a sequencing run is not started within 24 hours, or a run is not started
or completed due to a power failure or an abort, do not perform a manual cleaning. An instrument reset
run is required before reinitialization. For more information, see “Perform an instrument reset run with an
initialized sequencer that is loaded with an unused Reagents cartridge”
