Overview
Flexible DNA/RNA high-throughput nanopore sequencers Offering the flexibility of 24 independently controllable, high-output flow cells and leveraging state-of-the-art algorithms and GPU technology, PromethION 24 (P24) provides single or multiple users with on-demand access to terabases of sequencing data. PromethION 48 (P48), our most powerful sequencing device, delivers twice the capacity and output of P24 — ideal for large- and production-scale sequencing projects.

Specifications
Two PromethION models are available for high-throughput sequencing projects: the PromethION 24 (P24) and PromethION 48 (P48), respectively operating up to 24 and 48 flow cells at once. Both systems are deployed with the powerful PromethION A-Series tower, utilising 4 NVIDIA A-Series GPUs for real-time data handling.
Read length
Nanopores read the length of DNA or RNA presented to them — from short to ultra-long (longest >4 Mb)
