Nanopore sequencing technology has been in use for several years now and has become optimized for use in in-house sequencing. This technology can offer direct sequencing of native DNA and RNA as well as amplified samples. The sequencing happens in real time. Once the equipment has been purchased, samples can easily be run in flow cells. These flow cells have the advantage of reading any length of nucleic acid and can be used until the nanopores have reach their life expectancy. New flow cells must therefore be purchased as the used ones become inoperative.
