AAHRU Purchasing Specifications for a real-time long-read genome sequencer

The equipment needs to be equivalent or near equivalent to the Oxford Nanopore GridION MK1 instrument in the following categories:

1. The instrument has the capacity to directly measure nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) based on their direct interaction with a protein-based nanopore.

2. The instrument provides real time acquisition and analysis of data as sample molecules are processed.

3. The instrument provides long read genome sequence data with reads up to 4 Mbp

5. The instrument has the capacity to produce highly accurate genome sequence data at a quality score of Q20 greater than 99% accuracy.

5. The instrument has the capacity to perform up to five sequencing experiments either concurrently or individually.

6. The instrument is high throughput with yields of 250 Gb of sequencing data per run.

7. Provides hands-on training.

8. Provides 1-year warranty.
