Single-Cell Gene Expression
Individual cells can differ by cell state, size, protein
level and expressed mRNA transcripts, even within
homogeneous cell population. Therefore, assuming
that every cell in your sample behaves exactly
the same is a dangerous gamble; taking averages
of pooled cells can mask the dramatic variations in
gene expression.

The new C1™ Single-Cell Auto Prep System combined with our innovative BioMark™ 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.

It provides an easy-to-use workflow and flexible assay configuration. With an automated workflow, ready-to-use reagents, and optimized arrays, you can eliminate tedious pipetting steps and sample mixing to achieve “load and go” productivity.

•    Single-cell resolution—Identify previously unrecognized subpopulations
•    Easy to use—“Load and go” automation means there’s no mixing or adding reagent
•    Highly sensitive—Use picograms of starting material to screen against hundreds of genes
•    High throughput—Explore 96 single cells across 96 assays in a single run
•    Cost effective—Generate more data per dollar using nanoliter-scale reaction volumes
•    Reliable—Get consistent and reproducible data with every run

The SINGuLAR™ Analysis Toolset

Fluidigm recently developed the SINGuLAR™ Analysis Toolset—an intuitive, easy-to-use scripted solution for the C1 System and/or BioMark HD System, based on the popular statistical programming language R. Among other things, you can quickly and easily estimate LoD Ct values, generate Log2Ex values, create violin plots, and perform multivariate analyses such as unsupervised hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis (PCA). Get started analyzing your data.

  
 


Single-Cell Gene Expression
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.

Fluidigm DELTAgene Assays are high-quality, rapid turnaround, custom qPCR gene expression assays. They permit you to take full advantage of your BioMark System with minimal experiment setup time and validated protocols that provide quality results.
