Rapid, Sensitive Pathogen Detection using Hybridization Capture and Nanopore Sequencing

Date & Time

Tuesday March 3rd | 4PM CET | 3PM BST

Webinar Description

Untargeted metagenomics often fails to detect low-titer pathogens due to overwhelming host background. This session explores a validated workflow that optimizes the Twist Comprehensive Viral Research panel to solve the three major hurdles in NGS-based research diagnostics:

  1. Sensitivity: See how hybridization capture delivers higher sensitivity than standard mNGS.
  2. Speed: Learn about the simple four-primer PCR method designed specifically to accelerate capture workflows for the Oxford Nanopore platform.
  3. Efficiency: Understand how to achieve shorter total workflows than standard methods to support rapid turnaround in viral research applications.
