Compact benchtop device designed to run and analyse up to five MinION or Flongle Flow Cells.
The Oxford Nanopore Technologies GridION Mk1 device is an electronic analysis system for use in scientific research. The core technology is built around a nanopore that can detect single molecule events such as nucleic acids (DNA/RNA). This product is for research use only.
Note: The Lasec® Group is a certified distributor of Oxford Nanopore Technologies products and is authorized to distribute to the following East and West African regions only: Senegal, Mali, Rwanda, Cameroon, Gambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Angola, Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Gabon, and Côte d'Ivoire.
GridION Mk1 is a cost-effective and compact benchtop system offering on-demand sequencing with integrated real-time data processing. With the capacity to run five flow cells either concurrently or individually and a total yield of up to 150 Gb, GridION Mk1 provides busy labs and service providers with cost-efficient access to the advantages of long-read, real-time nanopore sequencing. You may choose to use as much or as little of this total resource at any one time. GridION Mk1 also allows you to offer nanopore sequencing as a service. Integrated, high-performance data processing alleviates the need for complex IT infrastructure.
The GridION Mk1 has five sequencing ports where MinION/GridION Flow Cells or Flongle Adapters with flow cells can be connected, as well as a high-performance integrated computer and basecalling accelerator. The device can basecall, in real-time, the data generated by five flow cells or flongles. The current chemistry and software enable the generation of up to 150 Gbases of data during a GridION Mk1 run. Setting up a GridION Mk1 requires minimal infrastructure with no need for facility upgrades. A new device requires only a power source and network connectivity via an Ethernet port. There are three USB 3.0 ports available for peripherals, e.g. keyboard and mouse. Monitors must be connected via DisplayPort. The device is powered from the mains via the C13 cable and is switched on via a power button on the front.
