Automate to accelerate: How to streamline single cell sequencing with automation
Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 17:00 GMT / 18:00 CET / 12:00 EST / 09:00 PST
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful technique for teasing apart the heterogeneity between cells in a population and identifying subtypes within a sample.
Parse Biosciences’ Evercode™ technology leverages the proprietary split-pool combinatorial barcoding to uniquely label individual cells, enabling scalable and high-quality single cell data.
This webinar will demonstrate how the whole workflow, from fixation to library preparation, can be automated efficiently on the Opentrons Flex. This webinar will also present data that shows high-quality scRNA-seq libraries generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
Key learning objectives
- Gain a deeper understanding of Parse Biosciences’ Evercode™ technology and its ability to provide scalable, high-quality scRNA-seq data through split-pool combinatorial barcoding
- Understand how you can leverage the Opentrons Flex liquid handling platform to automate popular genomics workflows, including scRNA-seq
- Learn how automating the entire Evercode WT workflow on Opentrons Flex can reduce needed hands-on time by over 10 hours for a single experimental run
- Review data from scRNA-seq libraries of PBMCs created using an automated sample prep workflow
Who should attend?
- Scientists in academia, core labs, and pharma and biotech who are leveraging transcriptomics techniques
- Anyone interested in optimizing their scRNA-seq sample prep workflows
Certificate of attendance
All webinar participants can request a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.
