BD RhapsodyTM Express Single-Cell Analysis System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System is a high-throughput microwell-based platform designed for capturing multiomic data from single cells. It utilizes a cartridge workflow and multitier barcoding to generate next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries, providing detailed single-cell analysis.
Specifications: The system supports a broad range of cell throughput, from 100 to 40,000 cells per cartridge, and ensures minimal batch effects. It is compatible with BD antibodies for consistent results across various replicates and sites. The microwell technology prevents sample loss due to channel clogging and is portable without electronics.
Workflow: The process involves several steps: loading cells, loading beads, cell lysis, bead retrieval, cDNA synthesis, and library preparation. The system allows for visual quality control at each stage, ensuring confidence in experimental outcomes. The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner provides metrics for cell capture and multiplet rates, aiding in troubleshooting before sequencing.
Performance: The system demonstrates high cell capture rates and low multiplet rates across different cell inputs. It effectively captures cells of varying sizes and morphologies, maintaining input ratios during sequencing.
Applications: The BD Rhapsody™ System supports various analyses, including targeted RNA-Seq, protein expression, sample multiplexing, TCR/BCR repertoire analysis, and CRISPR screening. It integrates with BD's flow cytometry instruments for a comprehensive multiomics solution.
Reagents and Support: BD provides optimized reagents and technical support to facilitate multiomic analyses. The system's reagents are designed to work seamlessly together, allowing researchers to focus on biological questions rather than technical challenges.
Conclusion: The BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System offers a robust and flexible solution for single-cell multiomics, supported by a complete ecosystem of reagents, instruments, and software for high-dimensional biology research.

BD RhapsodyTM Express Single-Cell Analysis System-5

Confidence in every experiment with visual workflow QC The BD Rhapsody ™ Scanner can be used to provide quality control measures at different stages of the workflow, such as cell capture rate and cell multiplet rate, by direct imaging. Scanner metrics can confirm quality of input cell sample and success of each step of the cartridge workflow; assess viability of cells until cells are lysed; and provide a reliable estimate of the number of cells retrieved by sequencing. This information gives users the power to change course and troubleshoot experiments, if necessary, before expensive downstream...
