Explore accuracy

Learn how it works

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 three flow cell formats and pocket-sized to high-throughput devices, you can scale sequencing output and throughput to your needs.
