We believe in making science more accessible, practical, and effective. Our team recently had the privilege of attending the Oxford Nanopore Channel Partners Onboarding Training in at Oxford Nanopore Technologies Headquarters, where we learned hands-on about cutting-edge sequencing technology. But there’s more to that – we’d like to tell you how this technology can benefit you as a researcher, healthcare provider, or life science innovator.
Why Is It Important to You?
Genomic sequencing has been revolutionized, and Oxford Nanopore technology is at the leading edge of real-time, portable, and high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing. The traditional forms of sequencing are typically time-intensive, costly, and requiring high-end infrastructure. Oxford Nanopore technology levels these barriers, enabling sequencing in small, medium, or even low-resource labs across much of West Africa.
Major Benefits of Oxford Nanopore Sequencing
Real-Time Data: In contrast to other sequencing types that take days or weeks, the Nanopore technology provides results in real-time, thus allowing researchers and clinicians to make faster decisions.
Scalability & Flexibility: Regardless of sequencing a small genome, performing whole genome sequencing (WGS), or transcriptomics studies, Oxford Nanopore possesses a range of scalable devices—from field-portable MinION to high-throughput PromethION.
Portable & Easy to Use: No high-end laboratory facilities are needed for sequencing. With small, USB-based machines, field, remote location, or small lab sequencing can be achieved.
Reduced Expenses, Increased Access: Conventional sequencing is expensive. Oxford Nanopore’s accessible solutions enable a greater number of researchers, hospitals, and diagnosis centers to introduce sequencing into their pipelines.
Broad Applications: With nanopore sequencing, applications ranging from the identification of early disease, surveillance in outbreaks, cancer research to plant agriculture and ecologic research are endless.
