Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Oxford Nanopore Technologies is a DNA sequencing company officially established in 2005, dedicated to developing breakthrough, electronic, single-molecule sensing systems based on nanopore science. Nanopore sequencing technology, also known as the fourth-generation sequencing technology, is a new generation of sequencing technology that has emerged in recent years. Its features include single-molecule sequencing, long sequencing reads (over 150kb), fast sequencing speed, real-time monitoring of sequencing data, and portable equipment. Oxford Nanopore Technologies is a pioneer in this technology, with its first sequencer, the MinION, launched in 2015. Due to its advantages of speed and real-time performance, it has served customers in over 100 countries and is applied in fields such as healthcare, agriculture, and environmental testing.
