Nanopore technology
The driver behind sequencing 4.0
Our expertise in nanopore technology
Leveraging its widely acclaimed CMOS processing expertise and infrastructure, imec develops and manufactures silicon nanopore FETS for single-molecule sensing (DNA, RNA, proteins).
Integrate our nanopore technology to enable high-throughput, label-free DNA sequencing. Combine solid-state nanopores with photonic waveguides to achieve extremely high sensitivity.
Key benefits:
- highly sensitive
- higher throughput at lower cost
- possibility of longer reads
- label-free, minimal sample prep
- highly integrated, robust and reliable
