10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell Controller for Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

The 10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell Controller is a precision microfluidic instrument engineered for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) applications in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and bioprocessing workflows. This platform enables high-throughput cell partitioning, isolation, and barcoding, essential for gene expression analysis at the individual cell level.

Key technical specifications include:

• Singleplex processing: Supports up to 20,000 cells per sample and 160,000 cells per chip with an output of 8 samples per chip.
• On-chip multiplexing: Handles 5,000 cells per sample and 40,000 cells per chip, enabling up to 4 samples per channel with an 8 sample output per chip.
• Cell hashing capacity: Processes 8 channels per chip, 60,000 cells per channel, and up to 480,000 cells per chip, supporting over 96 samples per chip.
• Compact footprint: Dimensions of 200 x 263 x 164 mm and lightweight design at 5.6 kg facilitates integration into laboratory environments focused on biotechnology and biomedical engineering.

Widely adopted in single-cell genomics, this system is critical in gene editing, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. It supports detailed cell profiling required in neuroscience, cancer research, and synthetic biology research, empowering researchers and clinicians with robust, automated tools for high-resolution cellular analysis.
