System Overview

The Infinium Amplification System (IAS) automates the pipetting of liquid samples and reagents for different Illumina protocols. Use this documentation as a reference for operating the IAS.

The IAS allows you to perform the following tasks:

Load and unload samples, reagent containers, microplates, tips, and tubes.
Aspirate and transfer liquids through pipetting tips.
Handle and transfer microplates and tips.
Dispose of used pipetting tips.

The IAS uses the Illumina Lab Automation Software Solution (ILASS) as its on-instrument software. For information about ILASS, refer to the Illumina Lab Automation Software Solution Product Documentation.
