Microbiology and infectious disease research
Leverage sample-to-answer automation to fully characterise microbial genomes, rapidly detect pathogens, track outbreaks, identify resistance markers, and test and optimise genetic constructs.
End-to-end workflows
Whole-genome sequencing of microbial isolates provides valuable information for public health, clinical microbiology research, food safety, and the biopharma sector. The nanopore-only microbial sequencing solution enables the generation of reads of unrestricted length, allowing for reference-quality, complete genome assemblies, including repeat-rich regions and mobile genetic elements, accurate identification of species, and prediction of antimicrobial resistance genes.
Samples per run | 1—24 |
Time from lysate to report | From 6 hours |
Available on version | MinION Mk1D |
Plasmids are the backbone of molecular biology, playing a pivotal role in applications such as gene therapy and vaccine development, genetic engineering, industrial biotechnology, and basic scientific research. Oxford Nanopore sequencing enables the highly accurate, flexible, and secure characterisation of full-length plasmid sequences in-house without the need for primers, with results obtained in hours — negating the need to send constructs to third parties for validation.
Samples per run | 1—96 |
Time from DNA to report | From 4 hours |

Metagenomic sequencing is a key technique for the identification of potential pathogens without the need for prior knowledge of microbial sample composition, providing important insights for outbreak surveillance to inform public health measures. Oxford Nanopore technology can sequence any fragment length, enabling thorough characterisation of mixed microbial samples. The rapid metagenomic nanopore sequencing workflow provides fast identification of bacterial, fungal, and viral respiratory pathogens from a single sample.

Metagenomic sequencing allows the rapid identification and analysis of microorganisms from mixed microbial samples. Any-length Oxford Nanopore reads deliver enhanced genome assemblies, accurate identification of closely related species, and resolve mobile genetic elements from metagenomic samples. Real-time data streaming unlocks immediate access to results, such as species identification, relative abundance, and antimicrobial resistance analysis.

16S and ITS sequencing is the predominant method for microbial identification and has a wide range of applications, including food safety, environmental and conservation monitoring, pathogen detection, and clinical microbiology. Oxford Nanopore sequencing can span the full 16S or ITS in a single read for accurate species identification from polymicrobial samples.

Library prep and sequencing protocols
Rapid barcoding enables PCR-free multiplexing of double-stranded DNA samples, such as genomic DNA and amplicons. This protocol uses the 96 unique barcodes from the Rapid Barcoding Kit. Designed to deliver accurate data quickly when time is critical, this method allows for the preparation of up to 96 libraries and simultaneous sequencing of multiple samples in a single run. It offers flexibility in off-board DNA extraction and data analysis to meet specific research needs.
