Oxford Nanopore Midnight Kit for SARS-CoV-2 Sequencing

Oxford Nanopore Technologies has launched the Midnight Kit for low-, medium-, and high-throughput sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 on its sequencing devices. It uses the Oxford Nanopore Rapid Barcoding Kits and enables automation. According to the company, the ARTIC-based Midnight protocol provides greater simplicity and scalability compared to the native barcoding-based ARTIC method for SARS-CoV-2 sequencing, at a lower price per sample.
