10x Genomics and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Launch New Solution to Automate Single Cell Assay Workflows
PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 18, 2024 --10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG), a leader in single cell and spatial biology, and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a global leader in laboratory automation and innovation, today announced the commercial availability of a new solution to automate single cell gene expression workflows. The new offering, which includes an automation-friendly library preparation kit from 10x Genomics and an optimized method from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, is designed to enable greater throughput and reduce hands-on time for large-scale single cell gene expression studies.
Single cell technologies are enabling researchers in a variety of fields to unlock the complexities of biology and drive groundbreaking scientific discoveries. As this research scales to large studies and more samples, automation of manual processes like library preparation becomes essential to achieve greater throughput.
This new optimized workflow follows Chromium GEM-X Universal 3' and 5' cell partitioning and barcoding steps to enable high-throughput gene expression library preparation on the Biomek i7 Hybrid Workstation from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. This solution delivers a streamlined and simplified workflow for labs handling large volumes of single cell samples at one time and frees up nearly 7.5 hours of hands-on time with up to 96 samples per run, while maintaining identical performance to manual workflows.
"As researchers continue to scale their single cell work, they're looking for ways to streamline workflows with greater speed, accuracy and consistency," said Michael Schnall-Levin, Founding Scientist and Chief Technology Officer of 10x Genomics. "We're excited about offering customers new automation solutions to accelerate their scientific discoveries."
"Delivering sustainable and customizable solutions that expedite time to market is critical to advance research and enable breakthrough discoveries," said Ewan Grant, Senior Director of the Biotech Workflow Solutions Business Unit at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. "This innovation provides customers with the high-throughput solution they've been asking for to accelerate answers in the growing single cell segment, while decreasing the potential for errors. This is a major step forward in reducing time and we look forward to seeing what customers are able to achieve."
