    Easy, intuitive data analysis

    No matter your single cell study, our powerful, included software makes your analysis simple, even for ambitious projects—no bioinformatics expertise necessary!

Assay selection tool

One platform, multiple approaches

The Chromium platform was designed to offer easy, high-throughput analyses of multiple analytes and sample types. The result is a selection of powerful assays that enable comprehensive characterization of cellular diversity.

    Which single cell assay is right for you?

    Use this interactive tool to get started. Answer questions about your experimental setup, including species, sample types, and cellular features to determine which Chromium assay best fits your research needs.
