Flexible, high-yield nanopore sequencing for every lab
Overview
Choose PromethION 2 devices for flexible, high-yield sequencing, in a compact, accessible design. Utilising flow cells that generate hundreds of gigabases, enable PromethION-scale benefits in small to medium sized labs — including cores and commercial service providers. Suitable for users with lower sample processing requirements, up to ~200 flow cells per year.
The PromethION 2 devices allow users to explore their applications and projects, before scaling up to a PromethION 24 or PromethION 48 device if required.
