Nanopore sensing technology can be miniaturised into a portable device for electronic single molecule sensing. This is possible because of recent advances made by Oxford Nanopore in using new polymers to form robust, long lasting bilayers on its proprietary arrayed sensing chip.
The MinION isn't for sale yet—at this time the company is making prototypes available to a selected people in the genome sequencing field. It will cost $1000 for a down-payment.
The MinION™ system is a disposable device that contains the sensor chip, ASIC and nanopores that are needed to perform a complete single molecule sensing experiment. Plugging directly into a laptop or desktop computer through a USB port, it is a self-contained device to deliver real-time experimental data.
The MinION device is adaptable for DNA sequencing, protein sensing and other nanopore sensing techniques.
