'''Platforms''' is part of the Nanopore Wiki learning path. Nanopore platforms range from custom single-pore electrophysiology rigs to commercial sequencing instruments and integrated sensing chips.


== Core concepts ==
* A platform includes pore chemistry, flow cell or chamber, electronics, software, and consumables.
* Commercial systems prioritize robust workflows and throughput.
* Custom rigs prioritize flexibility and mechanistic control.
* Platform choice determines file formats, metadata, controls, and analysis pipelines.


== Platform selection ==
