Microbial sequencing
Sequencing that keeps up with you
Your all-in-one genomics platform to uncover the microbial world
Fast and accurate identification and characterisation of microbes is vital to guide public health, food safety, and clinical research to prevent the spread of pathogenic microbes.
With Oxford Nanopore sequencing, you can get access to real-time data and generate rapid insight to time-critical results, meaning you can make changes in real time and ensure each experiment runs with confidence.
High-quality meets complete.
High-accuracy nanopore sequencing can overcome the limitations of legacy technologies to characterise complete, contiguous, reference-quality microbial genomes — producing data that you can have confidence in.
Nanopore reads with unrestricted length enhance de novo genome assembly, enabling more accurate analysis of known and novel microbes, precise differentiation of closely related microbes, and complete plasmid reconstruction.

No microbe left behind
Why settle for partial answers when metagenomic sequencing can deliver a complete picture?
Our metagenomic workflow offers rapid, comprehensive, full-genome sequencing of bacteria, fungi, and viruses — all in a single run, without the need for prior knowledge of microbial composition.
Sequencing that stays ahead
Never see sequencing the same way again. We have a range of simple end-to-end workflows that reveal all the data you need — from generating complete, reference-quality microbial genome sequences in one experiment and in-house to resolving entire plasmids, including mutations, deletions, and unwanted contaminants.

Data that cuts through the mix
With any-length reads of DNA and RNA, from short to ultra-long, you can finally characterise the full diversity of our microbial world.
In this review, find out how nanopore sequencing is addressing the challenges of metagenomics, with real-world examples of researchers applying the benefits of nanopore technology in this field to reveal unprecedented insight into microbial communities.
