MinION Mk1B: Portable DNA and RNA sequencing

MinION nanopore sequencers are the only portable, real-time devices for DNA and RNA sequencing, giving complete control and creativity over when, where and how often you sequence, regardless of application. Accessible from $1,000, the MinION Mk1B is a pocket-sized device weighing just 87 g, delivering personalised, established results at a very low price point, wherever you may be.

Why MinION?

• Powerful: get up to 50 Gb* data from a single flow cell
• Portable: sequence anywhere, including at the sample source
• Real time: immediate data streaming for rapid, actionable results
• Unrestricted read length: generate short to ultra-long reads

Why nanopore sequencing technology?

Oxford Nanopore devices sequence DNA/RNA directly, which means the data is rich and can be streamed in real-time, to provide rapid insights. It’s possible to sequence short to ultra-long fragments of DNA for a truly comprehensive picture. The technology is fully scalable — from pocket to population scale.

With this new generation of high-performance nanopore-based sensing technology, Oxford Nanopore aim to bring the widest benefits to society through enabling the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere.
