March 2016—Bio-Rad Laboratories and Illumina announced an exclusive partnership to develop a comprehensive next-generation sequencing workflow for single-cell analysis. The end-to-end commercial solution will enable high-throughput sequencing of thousands of individual cells.
Using Bio-Rad’s droplet partitioning technology and Illumina’s NGS technologies, the new solution is optimized to isolate and barcode single cells for downstream sequencing. Data analysis is conducted via BaseSpace, Illumina’s cloud-based genomics computing environment. The solution will be scalable to isolate significantly larger numbers of single cells, compared with other commercially available solutions, in just a few minutes.
