Device Description

Real-time sequencing with nanopore technology, five parallel MinION flow cells for flexible scaling, direct analysis of DNA and RNA without amplification, including epigenetics (methylation), possibility of immediate data analysis during the run.

Device Application

Genome assembly of complex organisms, analysis of structural variants and large rearrangements, investigation of RNA expression and isoforms, direct detection of modifications (e.g., methylation) in DNA and RNA.
