Send 5 Gsamples and three targets. Free.
The Signal Check is where every customer starts and where every new pore or chemistry starts. You learn one of three things about your signal, and if it decodes you keep the results.
What you send
Up to 5 Gsamples of BLOW5 · your sampling rate · optionally a reference FASTA · optionally up to three targets (a FASTA).
What you get back
- A — decodes as-is.The full result set on your subset: FASTQ, BAM with modifications (unaligned unless you sent a reference), .sen-lite, audit record, viewer, and calls for your three targets. Then you can order at list price.
- B — needs a calibration set.A written spec: which control to sequence on your own instrument, how many labelled reads, in what form. Feasibility from €900.
- C — needs an alphabet extension.A project outline.
Who can use it
One Signal Check per institution and per pore/chemistry. Non-human data: nothing to sign, just the request form. Human-derived research data: pseudonymised, after an AVV is in place.
Patient specimens are not accepted.
For the first ten institutions
Signal Check plus 30 % off your first Calibration or Alphabet Extension, and co-authorship on a methods note. Tick the box on the request form.
