Nanocoins

Nanocoins are prepaid credits that are used for paying for Oxford Nanopore (ONT) sequencing services. Nanocoins can be used with any ONT service or sample type. The number of coins required depends on the service and size of the order.

Nanocoins is the latest extension of a long line of prepaid sequencing options that Eurofins offers, some exclusively, such as SimpleSeq, FlexReads, and Prepaid Plates.

How to use Nanocoins?

  1. Order some Nanocoins! The order control is right on this page.
  2. Our technical team will link the Nanocoins to your account, typically within a few hours or maximum 24hours. Afterwards, the Nanocoins will be visible in your sequencing dashboard.
  3. Go through the normal ordering process for Nanopore sequencing. After clicking “add to cart” the system will check if the account has any Nanocoins and let you decide whether to apply them to the order.
