About Oxford Nanopore

Oxford Nanopore Technologies makes nanopore sequencing devices that analyse DNA and RNA in real time. The technology captures genetic information as molecules pass through tiny biological pores, delivering results as data streams in. From pocket-sized portable units to high-throughput benchtop systems, the devices work in labs, clinics and field locations. The approach removes traditional sequencing bottlenecks. Library preparation takes minutes rather than days, samples do not require batching, and users can analyse ultra-long native DNA or RNA fragments. This accessibility has opened genomic analysis to smaller research groups, field scientists and applications in diagnostics, food safety and environmental monitoring.
