Classic Ion Sphere Particle (ISP) Summary

This page describes the old style run reports used before release 3.0. The old style run reports use an older layout and do not offer 4.x features. The Classic run report is viewed with the Classic Report button (near the top right of a run report page):

The Ion Sphere Particle (ISP) Identification Summary section of the Analysis Report gives summary statistics of Ion Sphere Particle performance:





This section of the report is available before the Library Summary or Test Fragment Summary sections, providing a quick determination of whether or not the analysis should be permitted to continue.

The report displays:

Well Information

Icon

The data generated in this section are created "early" in the analysis process, before base calling, and are intended to be a coarse, initial assessment of run performance. The well data are subject to more stringent filtering in later stages of the analysis.



Parameter

Description

Percentage

Total Addressable Wells

Total number of addressable wells.

Not calculated

Wells with ISPs

Number (and percentage of addressable wells) of wells that were determined to be "positive" for the presence of an ISP within the well. "Positive"is determined by measuring the diffusion rate of a flow with a different pH. Wells containing ISPs have a delayed pH change due to the presence of an ISP slowing the detection of the pH change from the solution.

Wells with ISPs / Total Addressable Wells

Live ISPs

Number (and percentage of wells with ISPs) of wells that contained an ISP with a signal of sufficient strength and composition to be associated with the library or Test Fragment key. This value is the sum of the following categories:

  • Test Fragment
  • Library

Live ISPs / Wells with ISPs

Test Fragment ISPs

Number (and percentage of Live ISPs) of LiveISPs with a key signal that was identical to the Test Fragment key signal.

Test Fragment ISPs / Live ISPs

Library ISPs

Number (and percentage of Live ISPs) of Live ISPsthat have a key signal identical to the library key signal. These reads are input into the Library filtering process.

Library ISPs / Live ISPs

Library ISP Details

The Library ISP Details table is available after basecalling and read filtering are complete.This tableprovides information on a collection of read filters, which are applied after basecalling to ensure only high-quality reads are written to the final results.

The Polyclonal filter removes ISPs carrying clones from two or more templates.

The Primer dimer filter removes reads carrying an insert of fewer than 8 bp.

The Low quality filter removes reads that fail to attain a high level of accuracy.



Parameter

Description

Percentage

Library ISPs/Percent Enrichment

Predicted number of Live ISPs that have a key signal identical to the library key signal (the same value as shown in the Well Information table).



The Percent Enrichment value reported is the number of loaded ISPs that are Library ISPs, after taking out Test Fragment ISPs.

Library ISPs / (No. of Loaded ISPs minus TF ISPs)

Filtered: Polyclonal

ISPs carrying clones from two or more templates.

Polyclonal ISPs / Library ISPs

Filtered: Primer dimer

Insert length of less than 8 bp.

Primer dimer ISPs / Library ISPs

Filtered: Low quality

Low or unrecognizable signal.

Low quality ISPs / Library ISPs

Final Library Reads

Number (and percentage of Library ISPs) of reads passing all filters, which are recorded in the unmapped BAM file.



This value may be different from the Total number of reads located in the Library Summary Section due to technicalities associated with read trimming beyond a minimal requirement resulting in Total number of reads being slightly less than Final Library Reads .

Final Library / Library ISPs

Chip Loading Image

The Ion Sphere Particle Identification Summary section includes a Chip Loading Image, similar to the image shown in the following figure:







This is a pseudo-color image of the Ion CHIP wells showing percent loading across the physical surface.

The Loading Density percentage is displayed above the image, with the percentage value that considers onlypotentially addressable wells.
