PromethION 2 and PromethION 2 Solo

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.

The PromethION 2 Solo (P2 Solo) is now available for purchase through our store. The PromethION 2 (P2) is currently available for pre-order. For more information, see the relevant store pages.

Understanding the drivers of oncogenesis

In his talk, The potential of nanopore sequencing for personalised oncogenomics, Kieran O’Neill introduced the Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) Program research trial, which has been running for over 12 years, and has involved the sequencing of over 1,000 genomes and transcriptomes from clinical research samples from participants with advanced cancer...
