About This Trial
In this pilot study, the feasibility of the Oxford Nanopore MinION to identify pathogens from vitrectomy samples in eyes with endophthalmitis shall be assessed. The MinION is a low cost commercially available device for DNA/ RNA analysis that, in studies, has been used for pathogen determination in various infectious diseases as well as for the genetic characterization of hematologic tumors.
