Torrent Suite Software 5.4 Help

Summary of the recommended workflow

Here is an overview of the recommended workflow for a barcode run. Screenshots and more details are provided below.

  1. Create a template for your runs in the Plan tab Template page. In the template wizard Kits page, select one of the available barcode sets from the drop-down Barcode Sets menu, and fill out the other run information. Save your template.
  2. When you have the actual sample name, click the Plan Run button for your template. Enter you run name and sample name, then click Plan.
  3. The Torrent Suite™ Software assigns a name to your planned run, and generates a 5-character code for your planned run name. Your run information is stored in the Torrent Suite™ Software as a planned run until you are ready to start the run on the sequencer.
  4. When you are ready to start the run, on the Ion S5™ Run Selection screen you select your run from a list of planned runs. Torrent Suite™ Software populates the Ion S5™ Detail screen with the information you entered in the Planning tab. (You may optionally change information on the Run Info screen.)
  5. You start the Ion S5™ sequencer run as usual.
  6. When the run and report are complete, you can review the performance of the barcoded reads in the default report page. The following additional barcode-specific files are available for download from the File Links download section:
    • A zip of BAM and BAM index (BAI) files for each barcode

    • A csv-style spreadsheet summarizing the barcode performance for each barcode
