OXFORD NANOPORE · FROM PCR MACHINE TO FULL-LENGTH SEQUENCE
Multiple Amplicon Sequencing in One Tube, Made Simple.
Ship your PCR products as they come off the machine — unpurified, no sequencing primer, any linear product over 100 bp. Every amplicon is read end to end in a single nanopore read, so you get the complete sequence in one pass. Put several amplicons in one tube and each is sequenced and counted separately: ideal for both sequencing and quantification of mixed products.
Run your PCR
Any protocol, any polymerase. Products over 100 bp; several amplicons in one tube are welcome when their lengths differ by at least 10%.
Ship it as it is
No clean-up, no primer mix. Drop samples at a nearby Dropbox or ship them to the lab.
Sequence, cluster, report
Reads are clustered by amplicon and each cluster gets its own consensus. Results land in your account overnight after arrival.
01 / MULTIPLE AMPLICONS, ONE TUBE
Sequence and quantify mixed products in a single reaction.
A gel tells you how many bands you have and roughly how big they are. Full-length nanopore reads tell you what each one is. Reads from one tube are clustered by amplicon, every cluster is assembled into its own consensus, and the read count per cluster reports the relative abundance of each product — so one submission gives you both the sequences and the ratio.
| Cluster | Length | Reads | Share | Delivered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amplicon A | 312 bp | 1,240 | 62.0% | FASTA · AB1 · per-base breakdown |
| Amplicon B | 458 bp | 620 | 31.0% | FASTA · AB1 · per-base breakdown |
| Amplicon C | 690 bp | 140 | 7.0% | FASTA · AB1 · per-base breakdown |
02 / BEYOND SANGER PEAKS
One molecule per read — no mixed peaks to untangle.
Sanger sequencing averages every molecule in the tube into a single trace. Two products, a heterozygous indel, or a secondary band all collapse into overlapping double peaks that no base caller can read. This service runs on the same production line as our genotyping service: each nanopore read is a single molecule carrying a single sequence, so mixtures separate cleanly into their own consensus sequences instead of blurring into one. Non-specific products are filtered out during data processing rather than spoiling the read.
| Sample | Reads | Product 1 (217 bp) | Product 2 (210 bp) |
|---|---|---|---|
| mix_01 | 1,933 | 968 (50.1%) | 965 (49.9%) |

Sample guidelines (PDF) ↗04 / WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Sequence, trace, breakdown, counts.
- FASTA — the full-length consensus sequence of every amplicon cluster in the tube.
- AB1 trace — a Sanger-style trace file per amplicon that opens in the chromatogram viewer you already use.
- Per-base breakdown — position-by-position base calls with read support, so you can see exactly how well every base is backed.
- Cluster counts — reads per amplicon and their percentages: the quantification behind mixed-product submissions.
- Raw reads (optional) — the debarcoded FASTQ behind every consensus.
05 / SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS
What to send.
