Fluent BioSciences, a biotechnology company focused on making single-cell analysis simple and accessible to every researcher, and NanoCellect Biomedical, Inc., a leader in the development and manufacturing of innovative and affordable solutions for cell sorting, jointly announced a collaboration to improve resolution and efficiency of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of rare cell populations.
Single-cell researchers are increasingly requiring scalable, flexible and accessible workflow solutions, and the combination of cell sorting on the NanoCellect platform followed by scRNA-seq on a novel, instrument-free platform for scRNA-seq based on Pre-templated Instant Partitions (PIPseq™) from Fluent can be a highly efficient solution for a wide range of single cell applications across oncology, immunology and neuroscience.
For single-cell sequencing to truly become mainstream researchers need benchtop solutions that fit their diverse experimental needs rather than compromising the science with complex, expensive, and inflexible platforms. I am very pleased that Fluent and NanoCellect are able to leverage and combine the unique advantages of our respective technologies to expand the use of single-cell RNA sequencing for rare cell populations."
Sepehr Kiani Ph.D., co-founder, and CEO of Fluent BioSciences.
Reliable and reproducible sample preparation is critically important to the scRNAseq workflow, NanoCellect's WOLF® and WOLF G2® Cell Sorters can function as a valuable step in the scRNA-seq workflow by isolating only cells of interest while removing dead cells and debris, thus improving scRNA-seq resolution of rare cell populations of interest and overall sequencing data quality."
