Complete redesign of MinION architecture with a focus on user experience. Status LEDs provide a visual indicator of run status with a glance.
Palm size
Sequence in the lab or field.
Real-time data
Immediate data streaming for rapid, actionable results.
Unrestricted read length
Sequence any length fragment from short to ultra-long.
Mk1D Specifications
Read length
Nanopore sequencing reads the entire length of DNA or RNA fragment included in the libraries from short to ultra-long (longest >4Mb).
