We offer a wide range of sequencing instruments allowing to sequence at every scale and scope of any project.

Oxford Nanopore Technologies
Oxford Nanopore
Technologies

The Oxford Nanopore sequencers make us of a membrane containing nano-scale holes or nanopores. By setting a voltage across this membrane, strands of DNA or RNA pass through the nanopores making it possible to detect an ionic current. Changes in these currents can be used to identify that molecule.

MinION

This portable real-time device for DNA and RNA sequencing allows us to generate 10 – 30 Gb of data. The Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology will be applied for our genomics and epigenomics work, seen its clear advantages as for instance the sequencing of (ultra-) long reads up to 2 Megabases, the ability to perform direct DNA sequencing and the simple and rapid library preparation. Different types of double stranded DNA can be measured as for example genomic DNA (gDNA), complement DNA (cDNA) or amplicons.
