Oxford NanoPore Sample Requirements

For DNA:

Purity: Abs 260/280= 1.8-2.0 and Abs 260/230> 1.5 as determined in the NanoDrop or equivalent.
Integrity: Fragments should be > 20 kb

For RNA:

Purity: Abs 260/280= 1.8-2.0 and Abs 260/230> 1.5 as determined in the NanoDrop or equivalent.
RNA Integrity Number (RIN) must be 7or higher

Comparison of minimum sample for library construction between Oxford NanoPore (ONT) and PacBio (PB)
Application	NanoPore	PacBio	Comments
Large-insert genomic DNA without barcoding	Smaller amounts if library is to be sequenced in 1-2 runs (1-5 µg)	Larger amounts. However, the library yield is typically good for many runs (2-20 µg)	Sample input mass for library prep varies depending on the desired insert size. ONT has no upper limits for input genomic fragment size. Ligation and loading are much faster for ONT
Large-insert genomic DNA with barcoding	Similar amounts if library is to be sequenced in 2-3 runs (1-5 µg/sample)	Similar amounts. However, the library yield is typically good for many runs (1-10.0 µg/sample)	Sample input mass for library prep varies depending on the desired insert size. PB has an upper limit of 15-20 kb for proper demultiplexing. No size limit for ONT. Ligation and loading are much faster for ONT
RNAseq, cDNA with Amp	50 ng total RNA or 1-2 ng mRNA	300 ng	Initial steps of protocols are very similar. However, the adaptor ligation and loading steps are much faster for ONT
Direct RNAseq	500 ng poly-A plus RNA (mRNA)	N/A	Sequencing output is ~1/10^th in number of reads versus cDNA with Amp
