Description
The University of Exeter is procuring access to the Oxford Nanopore PromethION Early Access Programme (PEAP). This is a pre-commercial release of a system utilizing nanopore technology to sequence multi-kilobase fragments of DNA. The system will be used to evaluate the suitability of the technology for clinical diagnostic applications as well as method development. To our knowledge no competing system is commercially available at this time
The specifications of the system contains up to 48 flowcells containing a nanopore sensor array enabling 3000 nanopores each. This allows for up to 144,000 nanopores on the instrument simultaneously.
The user may deploy as many of the 48 flow cells as they wish at any time to allow for scalable analyses. Within each flow cell, multiple samples may be run separately or the same sample may be run across multiple flow cells for a faster time-to-result.
With real-time analyses, the system needs to be run only for as long as it takes to gather sufficient data to answer the biological question.
