Bringing scalable single cell analysis to your laboratory

Fluent’s breakthrough technology enables powerful single cell analysis in every laboratory without the use of complex instrumentation, so you can focus on advancing your research instead of managing expensive technology.  Our Single Cell RNA products for 3’ gene expression offer flexible, cost-effective and complete workflow solutions from cell capture through data analysis that is perfect for studies across cancer, immunology, neuroscience and infectious disease.

PIPseq provides significant advantages in experimental flexibility, design of time-course studies, and accommodating small cell input required for our model system.

The ease with which we have been able to generate large numbers of single-cells for challenging neuronal samples is amazing. Sequencing quality, including genes detected, doublet errors, and mitochondrial contamination levels are exceptional, and on par with other methods, and I have no doubt that PIPseq will be an impactful addition to the laboratory repertoire for any researcher.

We required a single-cell RNA-seq platform with a simple workflow suitable for rapid analysis of clinical specimens, that scales from small to large numbers of cells, and meets our data quality metrics. Tissues analyzed using the T2 and T20 kits have exceeded our expectations.

Dr. Zev Gartner

Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco

Fluent’s PIPseq scRNA-seq platform is simple and effective for our experimental needs. The quick experimental procedure is convenient and allows us to process fresh samples, sort, and perform capture and lysis all in the same day without worrying about sample degradation. The quality of the resulting sequencing data and the large number of cells that are successfully captured allows us to confidently answer our scientific questions and generate new and exciting hypotheses to test.

Fluent
Technology

Fluent’s novel Particle-Templated Instant Partitions (PIPseq™) technology enables near-instantaneous self-assembly of individual cells or molecules into millions of uniform partitions without the need for complex instrumentation or microfluidic consumables. It enables extremely sensitive and unbiased preparation of proteins and nucleic acids for sequencing applications such as single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq).  The workflow begins with prepared cell suspensions from which target mRNA is captured (sample prep) and processed into libraries (library prep) for sequencing (by NGS) and data analysis.
