Andrada Tomoni: How to load a Flongle Flow Cell

After the success of this virtual session last year, viewers were again given the opportunity to get hands-on, with the interactive Flongle Flow Cell loading demonstration. Those users who had pre-registered for the demonstration received everything required to follow along with Andrada Tomoni, a Development Scientist at Oxford Nanopore. In the first half of the presentation Andrada introduced the components of the Flongle Flow Cell, before demonstrating the prime, flush and load steps as they would be carried out in the lab. For comparison, she then showed the similarities and differences of these same steps when using MinION and PromethION Flow Cells. With that covered, it was time for viewers to have a go at loading a Flongle Flow Cell themselves.
