MinION GridION PromethION 2 / PromethION 2 Solo PromethION 24 / PromethION 48 Flongle VolTRAX
PromethION 2 and PromethION 2 Solo

Flexible, high-yield nanopore sequencing for every lab

Overview

Choose PromethION 2 devices for flexible, high-yield sequencing, in a compact, accessible design. Utilising flow cells that generate hundreds of gigabases, enable PromethION-scale benefits in small to medium sized labs — including cores and commercial service providers. Suitable for users with lower sample processing requirements, up to ~200 flow cells per year.

The PromethION 2 devices allow users to explore their applications and projects, before scaling up to a PromethION 24 or PromethION 48 device if required.

The PromethION 2 Solo (P2 Solo) is now available for purchase through our store. The PromethION 2 (P2) is currently available for pre-order. For more information, see the relevant store pages.
