Single-cell studies in recent years have revealed that organisms are composed of thousands of unique and unrepeatable cell types. Conducting single-cell genomic analyses using next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods, similar to low-input sequencing, has traditionally been challenging due to the limited amount of genomic DNA present in single cells. This limitation becomes even more pronounced when the studied population is small, such as in the case of rare cells. High-fidelity (HiFi) and high-quality genomic DNA amplification is essential for single-cell sequencing, which is strongly dependent on the quality of the isolated cells. Therefore, the method used to isolate single cells becomes an important consideration for ensuring cell viability and nucleic acid integrity. Namocell’s patented gentle sorting and cell enrichment technology overcomes the aforementioned challenges to provide a higher quantity and quality of cell samples for sequencing. As a result, a complete and accurate picture of the studied samples can be achieved.
