Description
PromethION 2 Solo is a modular nanopore sequencing device using the same technology found in the MinION and GridION devices. It allows up to two sequencing experiments to be run concurrently or individually. PromethION 2 Solo also allows users to offer nanopore sequencing as a service. The PromethION 2 Solo contains two sequencing ports where PromethION flow cells can be inserted. The device has no integrated compute, but can be plugged into a GridION Mk1 or a stand-alone computer that meets the minimum spec. This allows the device to basecall, in real-time, the data generated by two flow cells. The current chemistry and software enables generation of up to 290 Gbases* of data from a single PromethION flow cell (*theoretical max output based on R9.4.1 chemistry). The device has a USB Type-C port for connecting to external compute (e.g. a GridION device) - as such, setting up a PromethION 2 Solo requires no facility upgrades.
