Single-Cell Analysis Service

• • Applications of Single-Cell Sequencing

  Humans are highly organized systems comprised of approximately 3.72×1013 cells of various types, which maintain proper organ function and normal cellular homeostasis. Despite significant and revolutionary discoveries in the field of cell biology, the heterogeneity of cells still requires further investigation. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become the latest method for revealing the heterogeneity and complexity of RNA transcripts within individual cells, as well as for identifying different cell types and functional compositions within highly organized tissues/organs/organisms. Since its inception in 2009, studies based on scRNA-seq have provided a wealth of information across different fields, leading to exciting findings about the composition and interactions of cells in humans, model animals, and plants.

• • Single-Cell Mass Cytometry Analysis Service

  Mass cytometry (CyTOF) uses specific metal isotope-labeled antibodies to mark signal molecules on and inside the cell surfaces. Cells, in the form of single-cell droplets, are atomized and then enter a high-temperature plasma to produce free atoms. A quadrupole allows only ions within a specific mass range to pass for further detection. The relative signal strengths of lanthanide metal ions are detected using time of flight-mass spectrometry (TOF-MS).
