Applications for Single-Cell NGS automation
Adaptations of our trusted chemistries for library preparation on the Shasta Single Cell System (Cat. # 640282) and ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System (Cat. # 640188 or 640189) enable high-throughput NGS library prep with full gene-body coverage or whole-genome coverage. These applications allow you to identify novel biomarkers such as lncRNAs or tumor-driving mutation events like copy number variations (CNVs) or single nucleotide variations (SNVs) at single-cell resolution with fast and automated workflows.

Improve detection of fusions, SNPs, and alternative splicing with the ICELL8 system
We adapted our trusted SMART-Seq chemistry on the ICELL8 system for improved full-length scRNA-seq, so you can:
- Fully automate the processing of >1,000 individual cells into sequencing-ready libraries
- Achieve uniform coverage from 5'→3'
- Improve detection of gene fusions, SNPs, and splice variants
