Oxford Nanopore Technologies is a UK-based biotechnology company that specializes in the development of nanopore sequencing technology. This innovative approach to sequencing DNA and RNA offers real-time data analysis, which is crucial for a wide range of scientific research, including genomics, microbiology, and environmental science. Unlike traditional sequencing methods, nanopore sequencing passes DNA or RNA molecules through a nanopore and measures changes in electrical conductivity to identify the genetic sequence. This method is known for its ability to produce long reads, its portability, and its relatively low cost, making it accessible for both fieldwork and in lab settings.

Next Gene Scientific Sdn. Bhd. serves as the official channel partner for Oxford Nanopore Technologies in Malaysia. This partnership ensures that Oxford Nanopore's cutting-edge sequencing solutions are readily available to the Malaysian scientific community, facilitating advancements in research and application in various biological and medical fields.
