Other Nanopore-based platform out there?
Is anyone familiar with any other nanopore based machines that are being developed? Either in a start-up or academia? What are they called and how do they work? Thanks!

PacBio uses nanopores. Arguably, Illumina's patterned flowcells do as well. -
@Brian: In both those cases there are wells (no pores in biological (protein) or chemical (graphene) sense). Zero mode waveguide (ZMV) for PacBio and plain "nanowells" in case of Illumina.
@Shaia_Suki_Wang: Here is a list of known commercialization of nanopore technology (which surprisingly has been around since mid-1990's).Comment

@GenoMax thanks
Do you have any idea which one of these are still around? I know Genia is now bought by Roche and they are developing the technology. Any others that look promising?

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
