英国牛津纳米孔公司Oxford Nanopore Technologies
Oxford Nanopore的纳米孔测序仪还尚未有推出的时间表，但有可能是第三代测序技术当中最便宜的。纳米孔测序的优势在于它不需要对DNA进行标记，也就省去了昂贵的荧光试剂和CCD照相机。


Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd is developing a revolutionary technology for direct, electrical detection and analysis of single molecules. The platform is designed to offer substantial benefits in a variety of applications. Our lead application is DNA sequencing, but the platform is also adaptable for protein analysis for diagnostics and drug development and identification of a range of other molecules for security & defence and environmental monitoring. The technology is modular and highly scalable, driven by electronics rather than optics.

Our first generation of DNA sequencing technology uses a protein nanopore combined with a processive enzyme, multiplexed on a silicon chip. This elegant and scalable system has unique potential to transform the speed and cost of DNA sequencing. Future generations may interrogate single strands of DNA and may use 'solid-state' nanopores for further improvements in speed and cost.

Oxford Nanopore has a multidisciplinary team with a shared vision of creating a truly disruptive technology. For more information please browse our website or contact us with any questions.
