Why MinION?

Powerful

Get up to 50 Gb data from a single flow cell*.

* Theoretical max output when system is run for 72 hours at 420 bases / second. Outputs may vary according to library type, run conditions, etc.

Portable

Sequence anywhere, including at sample source.

Real time

Immediate data streaming for rapid, actionable results

Unrestricted read length

Generate short to ultra-long (>4 Mb) reads for ultimate experimental flexibility.

Evidence-based public health decision-making in the COVID-19 pandemic

Read how researchers at Erasmus MC deployed real-time nanopore sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 to support public health policy in the Netherlands.
