Highly accurate genomic data captures more types of genetic variation

Learn how it works

All about nanopore sequencing technology and how it works. Understand nanopores and what drives unlimited read length and full scalability.

Discover the output range.

The heart of nanopore sequencing is the flow cell, which is much more than a consumable — it is the nanopore sequencer. With a choice of two flow cell formats and pocket-sized to high-throughput devices, you can scale sequencing output and throughput to your needs.
