Single-Cell Gene Expression

One cell—hundreds of datapoints. Cells are as unique as the researchers who study them. Using single-cell gene expression analysis, researchers are able to identify differences between individual cells in a seemingly homogenous population. The BioMarkTM HD System illuminates these differences, enabling you to profile multiple single cells for the expression of hundreds of genes in just a few hours, using standard reagents and easy-to-use analysis tools.

  • Use picrograms of starting material to screen against hundreds of genes
  • Explore 96 single cells across 96 assays in a single run
  • Identify previously unrecognized subpopulations

Single-Cell Expression
Overview

Fluidigm provides scientists with a practical means to rapidly achieve new insights from single-cell analysis. The Fluidigm BioMark System and Dynamic Array™ IFCs enable hundreds of individual cells to be tested for the expression of hundreds of genes in a few hours. The Fluidigm open platform allows scientists to use off-the-shelf reagents and standard analysis tools. Fluidigm Dynamic Array IFCs provide an easy-to-use workflow and flexible assay configuration (just as with microwell plates, but without the tedious liquid-transfer steps).

Key Features:

  • High Sample Throughput — Screen up to 96 single cells across 96 assays in one Dynamic Array IFC.
  • Produce More Results Faster — Produce 9,216 data points in just four hours with one Dynamic Array IFC and one technician.
  • Assay Flexibility — Practice tried-and-true techniques such as TaqMan assays or other assays you already have in your lab.
