A truly integrated workflow: Save over 40% of time by using Rapid Single Cell
Multiplexing uniformity
plexWell auto-normalization ensures a highly even read distribution across single
cells.
Libraries were prepared from individual HEK293 cells and sequenced on a NextSeq® 500 instrument. All 96 cDNA samples were quantified and normalized for the Smart-seq2 workflow. For the plexWell workflow, cDNAs were diluted, by applying a global dilution factor derived from QC data for only 24 of the samples.

Transcript sensitivity:
plexWell Rapid Single Cell RNA Library Prep Kits enable high-sensitivity gene expression analysis and highly uniform transcript coverage.
Performance with libraries prepared from 2 pg or 10 pg of total HEK293 RNA or single cells, using the plexWell Rapid Single Cell RNA-Seq Library Prep Kit, SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit (Takara Bio), or the Smart-seq2 method (Picelli S. (2019).
Application highlight: High-performance scRNA-Seq of PBMCs sensitive and efficient full-length transcriptome profiling of challenging samples
Single cell transcriptome profiling is now routinely employed in immunological studies, to better understand heterogeneity in cell populations with overlapping phenotypic markers; cell development and differentiation; hematopoietic pathways and regulatory networks that predict immune function. Single cell RNA-Seq of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is particularly challenging because of ultra-low cellular RNA content (estimated at ≤1 pg per cell). In addition to a more streamlined workflow, the plexWellTM Rapid Single Cell RNA Library Prep Kit offers improved sensitivity (more genes detected; irrespective of sequencing depth); higher efficiency (less reads mapping to undesired content) and/or more uniform full-length transcript coverage as compared to homebrewed and commercially available reagents and protocols.
High-quality performance with challenging samples, such as PBMCs.
