Information

The Q-Line MinION Flow Cell RNA is a consumable used with the GridION Q device, delivering up to 10 million reads of real-time RNA sequencing data per run (theoretical yield based on 72 hr run) with streamlined workflows and consistent performance for use in applied and regulated environments.

How it works:

The Q-Line MinION Flow Cell RNA is designed to deliver ≥97% modal accuracy for RNA transcripts. This is our RNA-specific flow cell and paired with the Q-Line Direct RNA Sequencing Kit (Q-SQK-RNA004), improved sequencing accuracy and output is generated for RNA libraries in applied and regulated environments.

Shipping and logistics:

Bulk order options are available. All orders can be split for delivery to best suit your needs.

Flow cells are sensitive to temperature. To ensure optimal results during use, consumables are shipped with cool packs. It is not unusual for the cool packs to be warm when you receive them. For optimal results, immediately store your new flow cells at their correct temperatures.

We recommend that flow cells should be stored between 2°C and 8°C until use. Flow cells should not be frozen at any point, or come into contact with frozen elements, such as the back panel of a refrigerator or frozen cool packs.

Storage and stability:

Flow cells should be stored unopened at 2°C to 8°C until the date of expiration displayed on the product labelling.

Q reagents are supplied with a minimum of 3 months shelf life remaining at the time of delivery and should be stored at –30°C to –20°C until the labelled expiration date.

Expiration dates are displayed in DD-MMM-YYYY format.

Safety and legal

Safety Data Sheet for Q-Line MinION Flow Cell RNA (Q-FLO-MIN004R)

The warranty period for this product is 12 weeks from receipt by the customer.

Customers are required to perform a flow cell check within 12 weeks of purchase. Oxford Nanopore will replace any unused flow cell with fewer than 800 nanopores, when the result is reported within two days of performing the flow cell check, and when the storage recommendations have been followed.

For more information, please see the Nanopore Product Terms and Conditions.

What's in the box

Q-Line MinION Flow Cells RNA are shipped in a sealed pouch with a light shield.

Light shields are included within the moulded casing of the flow cell packaging.

Light shields are included within the flow cell packaging.

Flow cell returns:

We ask customers to return their used flow cells to Oxford Nanopore for recycling. For more information, please see flow cell returns.
