NEW YORK – Oxford Nanopore Technologies said on Tuesday that it has acquired Northern Nanopore Instruments (NNi), a Canadian biotechnology startup that has developed a solid-state nanopore fabrication technology.

纽约-牛津纳米孔技术公司星期二表示，它收购了加拿大生物技术初创公司Northern Nanopore Instruments（NNi），该公司开发了固态纳米孔制造技术。

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

收购的财务条款未披露。

According to Oxford Nanopore, NNi specializes in low-cost and precise solid-state nanopore fabrication with in situ size controls. Currently, the company manufactures solid-state nanopore materials that researchers use to understand the potential for solid-state nanopore-based sensing.

根据Oxford Nanopore的说法，NNi专门从事低成本，精确的固态纳米孔制造，具有原位尺寸控制。目前，该公司制造固态纳米孔材料，研究人员用它来了解固态纳米孔传感的潜力。

After the acquisition, the NNi team will continue to work with Oxford Nanopore to develop and scale solid-state nanopore fabrication technology, with a potential long-term goal of developing nanopore arrays, Oxford Nanopore said. This work will be conducted through a research collaboration between Oxford Nanopore and the University of Ottawa.

Oxford Nanopore表示，收购后，NNi团队将继续与Oxford Nanopore合作开发和扩展固态纳米孔制造技术，其潜在的长期目标是开发纳米孔阵列。这项工作将通过Oxford Nanopore和渥太华大学之间的研究合作进行。
