Parse Biosciences Single-Cell Whole Transcriptome Kit

Feb 18, 2021

Parse Biosciences, formerly known as Split Biosciences, has launched its Single-Cell Whole Transcriptome kit in North America.

The kit, which requires only basic lab equipment, enables single-cell transcriptomics for up to 100,000 cells or nuclei across 48 samples. Samples can be fixed for up to six months prior to barcoding and sequencing. The method is based on the split-pool ligation-based transcriptome sequencing (SPLiT-seq) method. Customers purchasing the kit will receive access to the Parse computational pipeline, an out-of-the box software tool that can be run locally.
