Spotlight: Real-time microbial sequencing
MinION™ devices from Oxford Nanopore enable rapid and comprehensive analysis of microbial samples — from real-time species identification and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiling to plasmid verification and whole-genome assembly.
Contact a specialistDiscover the benefits of nanopore sequencing:
- Portable and affordable - sequence in the lab or at sample source
- Real-time data analysis workflows - including species identification, AMR profiling, and plasmid verification
- Streamlined 10-minute library preparation - for rapid sample insights
- Long sequencing reads - delivering enhanced taxonomic resolution and complete, reference-quality genome assemblies
- PCR-free approaches - eliminate amplification bias and detect DNA/RNA methylation as standard
