In this interactive webinar, we'll cover new rat probe sets for Flex Apex and Visium HD, streamlined Flex Apex protocols for blood, automated Chromium workflows, and the new VIPerturb-seq method.
Our latest probe-based, flexible single cell assay, Flex Apex, now supports rat in addition to human and mouse. You can expand this into spatial context with the new Visium HD rat assay, bringing highly sensitive, high-resolution, whole-transcriptome insight, across fresh frozen, fixed frozen, and even biobanked FFPE samples.
Single cell profiling and blood are a powerful combination. Two newly validated blood collection tubes for Flex Apex assays give your core more flexibility in how and when samples are processed. Both preserve biological integrity and fragile cell populations while extending logistical flexibility, supporting decentralized, multi-site collection.
More samples, more cells, more statistical power. Growing ecosystem of automation platforms, including Biomek i7, Hamilton, firefly, Integra ASSIST PLUS, and Opentrons Flex now supports Chromium workflows across Flex Apex, Universal, Epi, and Scale Bio assays, from sample prep through library construction. Your core can choose the level of automation and support that fits your throughput needs, with new capabilities continuing to roll out through 2026.
Finally, a sneak peek at VIPerturb-seq. This method enables genome-wide perturbation screens using as few as 2,000 spike-in Flex Apex probes, combined modularly to detect over 1 million perturbations. Your core can support target discovery, combinatorial screening, or large-scale pooled perturbation studies.
