Single Cell Gene Expression

Reveal the Full Complexity of Cellular Diversity with Single Cell Transcriptomics

Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression Solution

Go Beyond Traditional Gene Expression Analysis

The Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression Solution provides a comprehensive, scalable solution for cell characterization and gene expression profiling of hundreds to tens of thousands of cells. Our latest improvements allow you to detect even more unique transcripts per cell, and with the addition of Feature Barcoding technology, you can get a more complete molecular readout cell by cell—identify cell-specific CRISPR-mediated perturbations or simultaneously measure gene and cell surface protein expression in the same cell, with virtually unlimited possibilities for the additional feature types.

Go beyond traditional gene expression analysis to characterize cell populations, cell types, cell states, and more on a cell-by-cell basis. From assessing tumor heterogeneity and stem cell composition, to dissecting neuronal populations—the technological advancements provided by the Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression Solution, along with turnkey software tools, allow the creation of high complexity libraries from single cells to maximize insight from any sample type.

Identify and characterize rare cell types
Analyze and understand cellular heterogeneity and how this contributes to your biological system
Perform cellular phenotyping with single cell RNA-seq to identify novel targets, biomarkers, and cell types and states without the need for pre-selected targets
Evaluate mRNA and cell surface protein expression profiles within the same cell
Perform high-throughput and high-resolution functional genetic screens in tens of thousands of cells simultaneously
Assess comprehensive gene expression phenotypes for individual CRISPR perturbations

Gene Expression Profiling

Uncover cell-to-cell gene expression variability and identify rare cell types in heterogeneous samples to better characterize cellular contributions during development and disease. Our latest improvements vastly increase sensitivity, so you can detect even more unique transcripts per cell.

Feature Barcoding Technology: Cell Surface Protein

Better implement published methods like CITE-Seq/REAP-Seq with our new and improved workflow using Feature Barcoding technology. Seamlessly measure both gene and cell surface protein expression in the same cell to identify protein isoforms, detect protein for low abundance transcripts, and further increase phenotypic specificity.

Feature Barcoding Technology: CRISPR Screening

Identify CRISPR-mediated perturbations alongside cellular transcripts using Feature Barcoding technology. Implement this improved and novel methodology to conduct high-throughput and scalable functional genetic screens in hundreds to tens of thousands of single cells simultaneously.
