Company Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc

Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc is engaged in the generation of molecular sensing technology based on nanopores. The Company has developed a deoxyribonucleic (DNA)/ ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing technology. The Company’s segments include Life Science Research Tools, which offers products and services for research use, and COVID Testing, which provides products for SAR-Cov-2 testing. Its sequencing technology offers real-time analysis, in fully scalable formats from pocket to population scale, that can analyze native DNA or RNA and sequence any length of fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths. Its products include MinION, GridION, PromethION, Flongle and others. MinION is a real-time device for DNA and RNA sequencing. GridION is a benchtop device designed to run and analyze up to five MinION or Flongle Flow Cells. Flongle is an adapter for MinION or GridION that enables direct, real-time DNA sequencing, or cDNA sequencing on smaller, single-use flow cells.
