Cellular Research, Inc., today announced the company has launched a grant program to give researchers the chance to access its Precise assay technology for an RNA-seq project on up to 1,000 cells for free.
Based on Cellular Research's patented Molecular Indexing™ technology, the Precise assays offer absolute quantitation and bias-free expression information. The assays allow the examination of large numbers of standard or low-input mRNA samples from precious samples, or whenever absolute quantitation is required. The Precise assays combine molecular and sample indexing in 96- and 384-sample formats, enabling customers to sequence up to 4,608 samples on one sequencing run without investment in new equipment or extensive training.
"Progress in single cell gene expression research has been limited by inadequate sample throughput, expensive library prep and sequencing, and limited sample sensitivity, and our Precise Assays address these challenges," said Martin Pieprzyk, Director of Strategic Marketing for Cellular Research. "We are sponsoring this grant program to increase awareness about how affordable single cell gene expression can be with our optimized, high-throughput workflow that offers the lowest cost-per-sample, and the opportunity for one scientist to try it for free."
