Rethink what you know about Chromium single cell assays

Your success matters to us. That’s why, for 10 years, we’ve innovated every element of the Chromium platform—from optimized sample prep to intuitive analysis—to deliver actionable insights and high-quality data you can trust, no matter your level of expertise. Better yet, these innovations are making exceptional single cell performance and reliability more affordable than ever.

Whether you’re a scientist exploring drug response and resistance to develop more effective therapeutics, an immunologist searching for biomarkers that define an inflammatory condition, or a cancer researcher trying to uncover the heterogeneity that influences therapeutic outcomes, single cell profiling reveals critical details driving complex biology. Chromium technology was designed so you can move forward with confidence for these applications and more.

Plus, you can experience confidence at every step of your experiment with access to our single cell support experts and comprehensive resources and training. That’s why, across the globe, over 10,000 labs—including 1,000+ Certified Service Providers and core labs—put their trust in the superior performance of the Chromium advantage.

As we build on that trust, we are also making these benefits accessible to more researchers with lower price points and improved economies of scale, while streamlining your workflow and providing exceptional performance for studies of any size

Explore some of the ways we are continuing to ensure your success and drive your single cell costs down:

GEM-X Flex Gene Expression: Ramp up your studies with unprecedented scale at less than $0.01 per cell

Our groundbreaking Chromium Flex assay that expanded access to fresh, frozen, and fixed samples—including FFPE—takes you even further with GEM-X technology. Continue to enjoy highly sensitive profiling of the protein-coding transcriptome of challenging samples, plus the ability to fix, batch, and run samples on your schedule. GEM-X enhancements give you the added benefits of lower sample input recommendations (25K cells or a single 25 µm FFPE section), higher sample prep recovery (up to 80%), and double the throughput at a fraction of the cost. Conduct large-scale studies with higher confidence and a lower spend, from biomarker discovery to perturbation screens to translational studies and more. Click here to learn more >

GEM-X Universal 3’ and 5’ Gene Expression Multiplex: Easy multiplexing and low per-sample costs

On-chip multiplexing for our GEM-X Universal 3’ and 5’ Gene Expression assays combines accurate, reliable performance with a simple, cost-effective workflow. Analyze diverse species and sample types incompatible with other multiplexing methods, conduct more statistically powerful studies by enabling more biological or technical replicates, and ease technical restrictions with lower cell inputs for limited samples. Take advantage of up to 70% cell capture rates, higher sensitivity, and easy multiplexing (no extra steps required!) at less than $600 USD per sample. Click here to learn more >

Chromium X series instruments: The most confident way to single cell

Cell partitioning and barcoding are the most critical steps of your single cell workflow. Chromium X series instruments automate these steps, providing superior efficiency, reproducibility, and performance compared to manual methods. Reduce hands-on times, minimize handling errors, see reliable results across users and experiments, and scale easily from running small pilots to profiling over 5 million cells per kit. Flexible enough to fit into any lab, this family of instruments lets you access the entire Chromium portfolio of high-performance assays and includes a low-cost option that makes it easier than ever to bring the Chromium advantage to your bench. Click here to learn more >
