Access the broadest range of analytes, samples & workflows

Flex Apex
Plate-based multiplexing with Apex has transformed Flex, enabling unprecedented scale. And because it’s powered by Chromium automated cell partitioning, superior performance comes standard. The benefits of plates plus Apex:
Profile up to 384 samples in a 96-well format
Run partial plates today, save the rest for later
Streamline sample handling with automation compatibility
Gene expression
Whole transcriptome coverage
Profile the whole transcriptome by capturing the 3’ or 5’ ends of mRNA transcripts for unbiased characterization of cell types and states from a wide range of species.
