Deep exploration of cell functional states, differentiation, complex interactions, or marker discovery are made possible through deep sequencing of mRNA at the single cell level. We use the 10x Chromium Connect system to automate library construction of up to 8 samples simultaneously. We can reliably and reproducibly generate expression profiles for up 10,000 cells/sample. There is also an option for immune profiling, which includes whole transcriptome and specific capture of V(D)J transcripts.
More information can be found in the single cell gene expression brochure and immune profiling brochure.
State of the art spatial biology is available with the Akoya Codex system. CODEX provides full spatial context and quantitative measurement of 40+ analytes from a single tissue slide. Single cell resolution is easily achieved with subcellular resolution possible. Application to clinical or discovery science is practical with validated performance on fresh frozen or FFPE tissue. Antibodies are available for mouse or human tissue. Furthermore, the assays are non-destructive, so tissue can be used for other downstream analysis or staining. More information is available at Akoya Biosciences website.
Unlock the mysteries of biology at the cellular level with our advanced NanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler technology. Given fresh frozen or FFPE tissue, the unique technology of GeoMx allows simultaneous, quantitative measurement of RNA and protein targets. The morphological context of the tissue can be resolved with customizable histology. The GeoMx assay is conducted by region of interest (ROI). There are several strategies for choosing the ROIs to maximize return on the experiment design. Choose between curated panels of molecular targets or customize your own. Instructions for panel selection are available here.
Introducing MERSCOPE - our cutting-edge technology for single cell research. MERSCOPE uses MERFISH technology to directly map and quantify the spatial distribution of hundreds to thousands of RNA species in individual cells, without the need for downstream sequencing. With high sensitivity, high spatial resolution, and the ability to multiplex up to 500 genes, MERSCOPE can detect low expressing genes and localize RNA transcripts at a subcellular level. Whether you're working with tissue samples or cell cultures, our custom gene panel design and versatile measurement capabilities make MERSCOPE the perfect tool for your research. More information on the VizGen website here.
A complimentary approach to transcriptional investigation of cell complexity is through the regulome. The unique chemistry of ATAC-seq to measure accessible chromatin sites can be applied to single cells. These experiments identify expressed genes as well as regulatory elements. Barcoding of nuclei suspensions is achieved through the Chromium Controller with Next GEM technology. Libraries are manually prepared. Automated library preparation with the Connect system will be available in the near future.
