Designed to isolate and process individual cells rapidly and reliably for genomic analysis the C1 System allows researchers to isolate cells, extract RNA, and then reverse transcribe and preamplify mRNA transcripts automatically to enable detection and analysis of cell activity. This single-cell autoprep system uses microfluidic technology and is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the BioMark HD System to enhance the workflow and reliability of data for scientists studying single-cell genomics. The C1 System handles, separates and prepares individual single cells for genetic analysis and will allow researchers to study cell differentiation, measure individual cell responses to specific stimuli, verify critical disease biomarkers, validate RNAi knockdown, and sequence individual cells.
