Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep makes single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) accessible for more labs with an easy, scalable, and microfluidics-free workflow. Researchers can undertake larger and more varied multiomics studies without the budget or technology constraints of other single-cell approaches.
Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep can easily scale with a wide processing range from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of cells. This increased cell throughput can reveal rare cell types. The assay is also flexible to run one sample or up to 96 samples in parallel with sample multiplexing.
Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep offers high transcript and gene sensitivity with the high-quality data you expect from Illumina. The gentle isolation technique helps detect fragile cells that are often missed by other methods. The assay is compatible with custom single-cell measurements for expanded multiomic applications.
Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep does not require expensive microfluidic equipment or labor-intensive protocols. You can conduct single-cell studies on your benchtop using a simple manual workflow with flexible stopping points.
Create templated emulsions using a vortex mixer to capture and barcode single-cell mRNA.
Generate cDNA and prepare single-cell libraries for sequencing.
Sequence on an NGS system to match the scale of your study.
Analyze and visualize single-cell data using DRAGEN and Partek software.

Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep includes both cell capture and library prep reagents. Choose the size kit to match the number of cells you want to assay. Kits are also available separately as Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Capture and Illumina Single Cell Library Prep.
For multiplexing more than 8 samples per run, use Illumina Single Cell Unique Dual Indexes. To input single nuclei, use the Illumina Single Cell Nuclei Isolation Kit. For enrichment of custom RNA tag sequences, use the Illumina Single Cell Supplemental Enrichment and Amplification Kit.
New users should order the Illumina Single Cell Prep Starter Equipment for needed accessory equipment.
Neuronal tissues comprise a complex organization of diverse cell types that continuously reorganize and remodel throughout an organism’s lifetime. scRNA-Seq is a valuable tool to catalog the true diversity of neuronal cell populations with transcriptional sensitivity, providing insight into:
Cancer is a dynamic and diverse disease involving complex cell populations. Understanding the cell types and mutations that drive cancer requires sophisticated methods. scRNA-Seq has been a vital tool to:
The immune system is composed of a complex hierarchy of diverse cell types that work in concert to identify, target, and eliminate pathogens. scRNA-Seq allows researchers to:

Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep uses PIPseq technology with pre-templated instant partitions (PIPs). PIPs can segregate complex cell mixtures into partitions with barcoded template particles that can be easily processed for single-cell applications such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq).
Yes, our vortex mixer and dry bath are required for reliable results. The vortex mixer is engineered for consistent emulsification. The dry bath ensures precise temperature profiles; typical dry baths do not allow the quick temperature changes that are described in our lysis protocol.
Yes, using the Fluent DSP/Methanol Fixation demonstrated protocol for cells or nuclei. Paraformaldehyde (PFA) fixation is not compatible currently.
No, only 3' mRNA capture is available currently.
