C1
Characterize selected cell populations with high molecular detection sensitivity using a broad menu of multi-omic single-cell assays.
The world’s first automated solution for single-cell genomics research continues to break new ground, now offering more capabilities than ever before. C1 lets you prepare single-cell templates for mRNA sequencing, DNA sequencing, epigenetics or miRNA expression.
Technology
The innovative C1 system carefully isolates single cells into individual reaction chambers in the exclusive Fluidigm integrated fluidic circuit (IFC). The optically clear IFC lets you automatically stain captured cells and examine them by microscopy for viability, surface markers or reporter genes. After staining, cells are automatically lysed and template is quickly prepared for qPCR or sequencing analysis—all in as little as four hours.
Workflow
1
Prime
Prime the C1 IFC in preparation for sample transfer.
2
Capture
Insert the IFC into C1 to automatically isolate up to 800 individual cells to separate reaction chambers.
3
Stain
Label each cell and microscopically image the IFC to confirm cell count, viability or phenotype.
4
Lyse
Reinsert the IFC into C1 to lyse each cell for amplification.
5
Amplify
Magnify each cell’s RNA or DNA content for sequencing or qPCR detection.
6
Harvest
Collect product from the C1 outlet.
