The MinION mk1b couldn't handle the cold. Looks like the mk1d might be a better fit for Alaskan soil research at these temperatures!

Great news! Despite the fridge reaching -1°C, the MinION mk1d seems to be holding its own internally! Check out the flow cell temperature.

Woohoo! Fridge temperatures reached -1°C, way below the MinION mk1d's typical range (+10°C to +35°C). Can it handle the cold for research in the field?

Testing the limits for Alaskan soil microbes! Put a MinION mk1d to the fridge test (new! +10°C to +35°C range) to see how it compares to the mk1b. @nanopore

Replying to @LaraUrban42 @Hasindu2008 @mitenjain @nanopore @Joseph_nanopore @Kieran_Hejmadi
Appears to be functional at low temperatures too

Had a visit from @uafairbanks Nook this past week as we're getting ready for the Arctic Research Open House @AlaskaINBRE @ArcticBiology Looking forward to sharing our work using @nanopore sequencing to explore #AMR in high latitude soils

I really enjoy working with these scientists. I can’t wait to see what they achieve next! #FaceOfScience @uafblast @AlaskaINBRE @ArcticBiology @uafairbanks

Jorda recently has been trying her hand at @nanopore sequencing . Here she’s getting some tips on loading a flow cell from @Dani_Wrenn. Great to see the students learning from each other @uafairbanks @AlaskaINBRE @ArcticBiology

Jorda is wrapping up her @uafairbanks degree @uafblast working with @SchuetteUrsel and @marybethleigh to unravel the mysteries of trembling aspen dense against a fungal pathogen. She shared her science at the One Health conference @UAF_COHR. @ArcticBiology

Josie is a first year URISE undergraduate @uafairbanks working with @SchuetteUrsel and @marybethleigh. She recently presented her research on the fungal pathogen responsible for Aspen running canker. Her research is helping us better understand forest health @BNZ_LTER

Spencer, a first year CS undergrad @uafblast @uafairbanks is exploring edge computing with @NVIDIAEmbedded putting the Orin through its paces with piles of @nanopore data. Missed my photo op when he was in the lab working on his first sequencing run @AlaskaINBRE @ArcticBiology
