| The C1™ Single-Cell Auto Prep System is a new approach to single-cell genomic applications, including targeted gene expression and the new mRNA sequencing protocol for transcriptome analysis of single cells.
mRNA sequencing is a valuable tool to help you study global gene expression patterns in subpopulations of cells. Until now, most methods—like microarrays or many next-generation sequencing protocols—have been impractical for single-cell analysis. They require large numbers of cells, have complex workflows, generate variable results or are too costly to fit within your budget.
The new mRNA Sequencing application on the C1™ Single-Cell Auto Prep System changes everything. For the first time you can extract, reverse transcribe, amplify, detect, and analyze cell activity using just one technology. The path less traveled just got a lot easier:
| Complete |
End-to-end workflow for transcriptome analysis of individual cells |
| Highest throughput |
Unprecedented parallel processing of 96 single cells per run |
| Easier |
Streamlined sample preparation directly from individual cells with only three hours of hands-on time, and no fragmentation or purification steps |
| Ultra sensitive |
Compatible with single-cell input as little as 10 picograms per reaction |
| More mappable reads |
Over 60% of total reads from single cells are mapped to RefSeq |
| Full gene analysis |
Better read coverage across the entire transcript for better detailed analysis of alternative transcript isoforms and identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms |
| Affordable |
One-eighth the cost of other library preparation systems |
| Compatible with any
Illumina system |
Supported on HiSeq, HiScan, GAII, and MiSeq sequencing platforms |
