About this item
MinION™ ― your personal, portable DNA and RNA sequencer.
- Real-time sequencing of DNA or RNA — rapid results and base modification data as standard
- Sequence DNA/RNA molecules of any length — from short to ultra-long (20 bp to ≥4 Mb)
- Simple workflow, with library prep in as little as 10 minutes
- Fits in the palm of your hand; weighs just 100 g
- Connect to a laptop via USB port
Get complete control and creativity over when, where, and how often you sequence. MinION™ provides the power of nanopore sequencing in an accessible, fully portable device. Weighing only 100 g and running off a laptop, MinION™ generates tens of gigabases of real-time data in the field or lab.
The high yields of nanopore sequencing data are suitable for a range of applications, including metagenomic species identification, antibiotic resistance profiling, microbial genome assembly, plasmid sequencing, targeted sequencing, low-coverage sequencing of large genomes, and isoform-level transcriptomics.
Choose a MinION™ starter pack to suit your specific application:
- Ligation sequencing and native barcoding kits — highest output and control over read lengths (60 min. prep time; 1,000ng gDNA). Choose the latest v14 chemistry with R10.4.1 flow cells for the highest read accuracy.
- Rapid sequencing and rapid barcoding kits — fastest, simplest library preparation (from 10 min. prep time; 100ng gDNA). Choose the latest v14 chemistry with R10.4.1 flow cells for high read accuracy. These kits are able to generate sequencing accuracies of over 99% (Q20+) and duplex data but have been optimized for speed and simplicity. If users require high duplex data, we recommend the ligation sequencing kit v14 or native barcoding kit v14.
- cDNA-PCR sequencing kit — identification and quantification of full-length transcripts with highest output (~225 min. + PCR prep time; 10ng poly-A+ RNA or 500ng total RNA).
- Direct RNA sequencing kit — sequence RNA molecules directly and preserve base modifications (135 min. prep time; 300 ng poly-A+ RNA or 1 μg total RNA).
