Sample preparation protocols
The ICELL8 system, with its wide-bore nozzle for dispensing and Poisson distribution, makes it eminently suited for use with a wide range of cell shapes and sizes (including nuclei). But a one-size-fits-all approach to sample preparation cannot be taken with that same broad spectrum. Listed below are protocols describing how to prepare samples to optimize your experimental results.
Basic cell preparation for the ICELL8 cx system
Takara Bio generated basic cell preparation guidelines and suggestions for staining and dispensing on the ICELL8 cx system.

User-generated protocols
User-generated protocols are based on internal proof-of-concept experiments, customer collaborations, and published literature. In some cases, relevant results are discussed in our research news BioView blog articles. While we expect these protocols to be successful in your hands, they may not be fully reviewed or optimized. We encourage you to contact us or refer to the published literature for more information about these user-generated and -reported protocols.
