Run up to 48 independently addressable, high-capacity PromethION Flow Cells.
Ultra-high throughput
Generate terabases of data — streamed in real time for immediate analysis.
Powerful compute
Alleviate data analysis bottlenecks.
Population-scale sequencing
Generate sub-$1,000 human genomes.
No capital cost
Pay just for consumables.
Interested in the P2?
PromethION 2 (P2) devices maintain the flexibility associated with the PromethION 24 and PromethION 48 devices, but in a compact, accessible form factor. They are designed for small to medium sized academic and research labs, as well as core labs and commercial service providers, – delivering the benefits of high-coverage nanopore sequencing to users with lower sample processing requirements (i.e. up to four full-length sequencing runs per week / or 200 flow cells per year).

Specifications
PromethION is available in two models: PromethION 24 (P24) and PromethION 48 (P48), which can respectively operate up to 24 and 48 flow cells at once.
Read length
Nanopores read the length of DNA or RNA presented to them — from short to ultra-long (longest >4 Mb)
Dimensions
Compact benchtop device with compute module
Sequencing module:
- Size: W 590 mm, H 190 mm, D 430 mm
- Weight: 28 kg
Compute module:
- Size: W 178 mm, H 440 mm, D 470 mm
- Weight: 25 kg
Up to 290 Gb per flow cell*
Total device yield as much as:
- Up to 7 Tb PromethION 24*
- Up to 14 Tb PromethION 48*
* Theoretical max output when system is run for 72 hours at 420 bases / second. Outputs may vary according to library type, run conditions, etc.
Suitable applications
- Larger genomes or projects
- Population-scale sequencing
