Single Cell Sequencing in Phase-II Clinical Trials: examples and how to implement

Sample Processing

At our lab, we process your samples according to the chosen protocol and are dedicated to delivering high-quality data. Our team of scientists has years of experience with single-cell sequencing, including from the early days when analyzing was just one cell at a time! Our scientists are dedicated to delivering high-quality data and will adapt our workflow to accommodate all sample types, such as nuclei or low-viability samples. Our team performs the end-to-end workflow in our purpose-built facility with quality control steps along the way, so you can be confident your precious samples are handled properly.

Our QC and sample requirements

Step 4 - Analysis of sequencing data

Data Analysis

Our bioinformaticians generate a preliminary data analysis report to expedite your research with every project. Our seasoned bioinformaticians perform this analysis using our custom pipelines to deliver a succinct explanation of the results and quality metrics. To further unlock biological insights, our bioinformatics team is eager to work on custom data analysis, which may include clustering analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, data set integration, and the creation of publication or presentation-ready figures.
