LamPORE is a new, rapid, scalable, accurate test, for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. LamPORE is designed to be performed on a desktop device, GridION, or a palm-sized device, MinION Mk1C.
An initial 450,000 of Oxford Nanopore’s LamPORE test will be used by the UK government as COVID-19 diagnostics, which yield results in under two hours.
