HOW DOES NANOPORE WORK? The Nanopore microneedling technology was developed by Dr Serrano, a dermatological and pharmaceutical specialist. The treatment uses special ‘encapsulated’ active ingredients including Retinol, which is used to help penetrate much deeper into the epidermis layer of the skin to achieve the best results.

How does Oxford Nanopore work?
In its devices, Oxford Nanopore passes an ionic current through nanopores and measures the changes in current as biological molecules pass through the nanopore or near it. The information about the change in current can be used to identify that molecule.
What is the function of a protein nanopore?
A protein nanopore is set in an electrically resistant polymer membrane. An ionic current is passed through the nanopore by setting a voltage across this membrane. If an analyte passes through the pore or near its aperture, this event creates a characteristic disruption in current...
What happens when current passes through a nanopore?
An ionic current is passed through the nanopore by setting a voltage across this membrane. If an analyte passes through the pore or near its aperture, this event creates a characteristic disruption in current (as shown in the diagram below). Measurement of that current makes it possible to identify the molecule in question.
How does the nanopore work?
Nanopore sequencing is a unique, scalable technology that enables direct, real-time analysis of long DNA or RNA fragments. It works by monitoring changes to an electrical current as nucleic acids are passed through a protein nanopore. The resulting signal is decoded to provide the specific DNA or RNA sequence.
What is a significant advantage of nanopore high throughput HTP sequencing?
Nanopore sequencing is the only sequencing technology that offers real-time analysis (for rapid insights), in fully scalable formats, can analyse native DNA or RNA, and sequence any length of fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths.

How does high throughput sequencing work?
While sequencing information has traditionally been elucidated using a low throughput technique called Sanger sequencing, high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies are capable of sequencing multiple DNA molecules in parallel, enabling hundreds of millions of DNA molecules to be sequenced at a time.
How does nanopore sequencing technology identify different bases of DNA?
Nanopore sequencing technology, also known as “Strand sequencing,” identifies individual nucleotide sequences as the DNA strand is passed through a membrane-inserted protein nanopore, one base at a time, by alterations in the ion current. The size, shape, and length of the DNA molecule determine the change in current.
Is Illumina or nanopore more accurate?
Moreover, nanopore sequencing has 92-97% accuracy, while illumina sequencing has 99% accuracy.
What is nanopore data?
The nanopore sequencing process is based on the transit of a DNA molecule through a nanoscopic pore, and since the 90s is considered as one of the most promising approaches to detect polymeric molecules.
How long are nanopore sequencing reads?
Nanopore sequencing provides the longest read lengths, from 500 bp to the current record of 2.3 Mb [16], with 10–30-kb genomic libraries being common.
What is nanopore MinION?
Oxford Nanopore Technonologies' (ONT) MinION is a pocket-sized device which applies nanopore sequencing technology to nucleic acid analyses, with far reaching applications including real-time bacterial metagenomic community analysis, subtyping, and long read scaffolding for whole genome sequencing of organisms, to name ...
What is a nanopore flow cell?
Information. A MinION Flow Cell (R9. 4.1) is a consumable used with MinION and GridION devices. It contains the proprietary sensor array, Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and R9.
Does nanopore sequence both strands?
Each nanopore sequences multiple strands of DNA from solution in succession, as individual strands are passed through the nanopore by a proprietary processive enzyme.
Benefits of Nanopore
Nanopore technology is widely considered the next generation microneedling solution to hit the beauty market. The Nanopore pen has a much faster treatment time compared to other Microneedling treatments, such as Dermapen and it uses non-vibratory needles also used by some microneedling devices.
NANOPORE MICORNEEDLING
Often called the next generation of microneedling, Nanopore is a pain-free microneedling treatment that is delicate enough to target really sensitive areas, such as dark circles beneath the eyes that no other microneedling treatment can offer. No other treatment can do this in the same way.

Why is Nanopore Microneedling the best?
The Nanopore Micro-needling device is the next generation on from Dermaroller and Dermapen. The rapidity of the micro-punctures and the fact that the needles do not vibrate means that no anaesthetic cream is required and the number of pulses per second is increased to 150.
How does nanopore stylus work?
The Nanopore Stylus uses tiny needles that rapidly puncture the skin to induce a natural healing response in the body. It performs a double action: first, it removes superficial skin through superior exfoliation, taking away dead cells; then, it micro-exfoliates the stratum corneum, increasing the absorption of active cosmetic ingredients.
What Nanopore Treats
Wrinkles, Photoaging, Large pores, Pigmentation, sagging skin, Cellulite, Stretch marks, Hair loss, Scarring
Why is Nanopore more effective than ordinary skin care products & ordinary mesotherapy solutions?
The Nano effect is the equivalent of using ten times the strength of the active ingredient working where it is most needed beneath the skin, yet without the aggressive side effects on the skin surface.
What is the downtime with Nanopore?
The redness on the face has often subsided within a few hours. If it persists mineral makeup can be used. Treatment on the neck and body tend to stay red for a bit longer. Depending on the strength of the products used after the treatment there may be peeling for up to a week.
How many micropunctures per second?
This means that we get 900 micro-punctures per seconds, making the treatment very effective.
What is the equivalent of using ten times the strength of an active ingredient?
The treatment is the equivalent of using ten times the strength of an active ingredient, working where it is most needed beneath the skin. A mask that compliments the mesotherapy solution can then also be used or the treatment can be sealed in with Retinol.
