Making Single-Cell Technology Simple for Every Scientist. Creating a Community.
Fast updates on single-cell breakthroughs
This month brought exciting news in single-cell technology, with new products and applications. It’s also the month we decided that this project will come to an end by the close of 2024 🗓️, which is just around the corner.
🌟 Company Spotlight
Cs Genetics
CS Genetics has developed a new single-sequencing approach. It is based on a physical phenomenon called ‘Kinetic Confinement'. Their assay uses novel molecular indexing reagents to deliver index sequences directly to single cells and Kinetic Confinement to perform high-fidelity indexing of molecules across thousands of cells simultaneously in a single tube.
