Flow cell packaging
The flow cells are shipped in a sealed pouch to maintain the environment for the flow cell chemistry.
Flow cells are shipped at a constant temperature to avoid temperature cycling, and for long term storage it is recommended that they are kept in an environment not prone to large temperature fluctuations. It is recommended to store the flow cells:
- For 1 month, unopened, at ambient temperatures (DO NOT FREEZE)
- 3 months chilled at 2-8º C, or once the package is opened -
Returns packaging
The flow cells are supplied with the packaging materials for returns to Oxford Nanopore.
The returns packaging includes:
- Flow cell container seal
- Plastic shipping container (protects the flow cell during shipments)
- Flow cell pouch (keep when unpacking the flow cell)
- External envelope
The envelopes and seals can be found in the flow cell packaging.
