COLOGNE,
Germany, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Singleron Biotechnologies announced a partnership with the
Human Cell Atlas (HCA) to help accelerate the adoption of single
cell sequencing globally. Singleron will facilitate access to its
single cell analysis platform via the HCA network, by providing
discounted rates for HCA collaborating members.
Despite its growing adoption, single cell analysis still faces
significant challenges, particularly for new users and researchers
in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. These challenges cover the
entire single cell workflow, from tissue collection to data
analysis. Improved access to single cell sequencing could help
researchers overcome typical bottlenecks to make single cell
sequencing accessible to more research groups globally.
John Randell, HCA Chief Alliance
Officer, said: 'We're delighted that Singleron has recently
joined HCA's Commercial Discount Program, to empower the science of
HCA Collaborating members around the world."
Singleron directly addresses the single cell workflow challenges
faced by all researchers. One common obstacle in single cell
analysis is tissue dissociation. The optimum protocol varies based
on tissue and sample type, and the consistency in sample handling
greatly affects data quality. Singleron addresses this with
automated tissue dissociation instruments and optimized reagents,
backed by extensive experience with over 1,000 sample and tissue
types.
For researchers with limited access to instruments, Singleron
offers a manual kit that only requires a micropipette to obtain
high quality single cell data. The kit enables researchers to get
started on smaller projects with the option to scale up with an
automated instrument when ready.
Another significant challenge for researchers is in analyzing
their single cell data. "Single cell sequencing data analysis
requires specialized expertise and computing capabilities, which
are not available to every researcher. We don't think that a
lack of bioinformatics expertise should be a bottleneck to
answering your biological questions," said Jonathan Scolnick, PhD, General Manager of
Singleron Biotechnologies, Singapore.
Singleron provides comprehensive support for researchers
of all background, including:
- A bioinformatics bootcamp for teams looking to build internal
capabilities from scratch
- Code-free software for advanced analysis that does not require
a bioinformatics background
- Customized bioinformatics services for tailored project
support
By offering flexible single cell analysis options and end-to-end
support, Singleron empowers researchers worldwide to obtain
high-quality single cell data and derive meaningful biological
insights.
