Oxford Nanopore Technologies
To enable the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere.
Oxford Nanopore makes a novel generation of DNA/RNA sequencing technology that provides rich data, is fast, accessible, and easy to use. Our goal is to disrupt the way that biological analyses are currently performed, and open up new applications that have a profound, positive impact on society.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies products are not intended for use for health assessment or to diagnose, treat, mitigate, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
The affordable, pocket-sized MinION and MinION Mk1C devices, which can deliver tens of gigabases of data in a single run, make sequencing accessible to any researcher across a wide range of applications.
Benefits of nanopore sequencing technology include:
- Any length read — from short to ultra-long (>4 Mb)
- Streamlined workflows — library prep in as little as 10 minutes
- Sequence native DNA/RNA — eliminate amplification-bias and directly identify epigenetic modifications (e.g. methylation)
- Real-time data streaming — immediate access to actionable results
- Portable, affordable devices — sequence anywhere
