Shasta Total RNA-Seq Cell Fixation Kit
The Shasta Total RNA‑Seq Cell Fixation Kit enables rapid fixation of cell suspensions in under 20 minutes, with stable storage for up to 6 months prior to library prep. By allowing samples from different batches to be fixed and processed in parallel, it streamlines downstream workflows and simplifies time‑course and large‑cohort studies. Importantly, this added flexibility does not compromise data quality—the kit delivers consistent, high‑quality results across samples while minimizing batch‑to‑batch bias.
Overview
- Enable cell fixation and storage for up to 6 months prior to Shasta Total RNA-Seq library prep
- Minimize cell loss during the handling process with an easy workflow
- Achieve high-quality data from fixed cells comparable to fresh cells, enabling large-cohort and longitudinal studies
