After pulling the completed Flongle run of Group 1, Library 1, performed pore check on all remaining Flongle flow cells.
As a reminder, pore check of the flow cell used for Group 1 Library 1 showed:
| SN | Flow Cell ID | Num. pores |
|---|---|---|
| B028104085 | AYW935 | 59 |
Checked all 11 remaining Flongle flow cells. As a reminder, <50 pores would fall below warranty, and the maximum is 126pores.

Wow, so 4/12 (or 1/3) of the Flongle flow cells we received are below warranty. Another 5, including the cell used for Group 1 Library 1, have pore counts just above the minimum.
I contacted Nanopore Support to request replacements for the out-of-warranty cells on 08/13/2025, case number 01333308. Reorder number is RD060692.
