Ion GeneStudio S5 Instrument User Guide
IMPORTANT! The Ion GeneStudio S5 System is installed by trained service personnel
and must not be relocated without assistance from trained service personnel. See
"Customer and technical support" on page 62.
IMPORTANT! A primary source of contamination is DNA fragments from previously
processed samples. Do not introduce amplified DNA into the library preparation
laboratory or work area.
IMPORTANT! Significant vibration during sequencing may add noise and reduce the
quality of the measurements. The Ion GeneStudio S5 System must be installed on a
bench that is free from vibrations or in contact with equipment that can cause
vibrations to the bench (freezers, pumps, and other similar equipment).
IMPORTANT! Place the instrument at least 40 in. (1 meter) away from major sources
of electronic noise such as refrigerators or microwaves.
