Environmental research with nanopore technology
Nanopore sequencing enables comprehensive, real-time analysis of environmental samples. Rapidly identify and characterise microbes from mixed populations — whether at the bench or in the field.
- Ultra-long reads enhance microbe identification Accurate sub-species-level microbe identification from closely related and mixed populations.
- Real-time analysis Real-time data-streaming allows immediate data analysis, with the facility to stop sequencing once sufficient data has been generated.
- Dedicated workflows for rapid results A range of specialised kits enabling targeted (e.g. 16s rRNA), whole genome or RNA analysis – with streamlined analysis tools.
- Simple and scalable Nanopore sequencing is fully scalable, without any change to the library preparation method. Experiments can be scaled by using the MinION™, GridION™ or PromethION™.
- Explore and monitor gene expression using full-length transcripts Read length is equal to fragment length, allowing analysis of full-length transcripts and accurate detection of transcript isoforms.
