PromethION2 Long-read Sequencer
Equipment Introduction
Nanopore sequencing is a unique, scalable technology that enables direct, real-time analysis of DNA or RNA fragments of any length. It works by monitoring changes to an electrical current as nucleic acids are passed through a protein nanopore.The resulting signal is decoded to provide the specific DNA or RNA sequence. The PromethION 2 Solo is a small benchtop device designed to run up to two PromethION flow cells. Each flow cell is independently addressable, meaning that experiments can be run concurrently or individually. The current chemistry and software enables generation of up to 290 Gbases* of data from a single PromethION flow cell (*theoretical max output based on sequencing at 420 bps for 72 hours).
