The seqWell Scope is your source for the latest news in NGS technology. Our 4th issue is focused on scRNA-seq.

| View in browser A Quarterly Newsletter Information in NGS technology and research December 2022 \| Vol. 01 Issue 4 Hello there,    This year-end issue of The seqWell Scope celebrates the accomplishments we’ve made in revolutionizing single-cell RNA sequencing.   RNA-seq is a crucial tool for several areas within biological research and discovery, including drug screening pipelines and single-cell analysis. At seqWell we recognize that, in improving our ability to process large numbers of RNA samples with ease, we can accelerate the pace and scale of sequencing for these applications.   Last month, we participated in a webinar on optimizing scRNA-seq workflows. During the discussion, Curtis Knox, our director of product management, highlighted the seqWell technologies that enable high-throughput workflows for a variety of applications, including scRNA-seq. Then, Dave Rawling, PhD, one of our senior scientists and R&D team leaders, discussed the development effort he has been spearheading.    Dr. Rawling and his team are working to build the next generation of highly scalable RNA-seq assays. They are taking our plexWell™ Rapid Single Cell kit, which we built and launched last year, and combining it with the revolutionary simplicity of our new ExpressPlex™ technology, which we will launch as a standalone product in 2023. I encourage you to check out the webinar and download Dr. Rawling's poster presentation to learn more about these products. You can also request early access to begin leveraging ExpressPlex for your work.    The new year will kick off with conferences that focus on additional applications that we are continuing to push the boundaries on. If you’re planning to attend PAG in January or AGBT in February, please find us and say hello. Our team would love to discuss how our products and tools, like our transposase-based toolkit, can support your research.   On behalf of everyone here at seqWell, I wish you all the best in the year to come.    See you in 2023!    Best regards, Joseph Mellor, Ph.D. Co-Founder and CSO In this issue: Blog: "Increasing Accessibility of Full-Transcript scRNA-seq Through Continued Innovation" (4 minute read) Blog: "Full-Length scRNA-seq: A Powerful Yet Elusive Goal" (4 minute read) Video: "Optimizing Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Workflows" (35 minutes) Video: "Enabling Sequencing Applications with Improved Transposase-Based Solutions" (23 minutes) Product Spotlight: ExpressPlex™ Library Prep Kit Company News and Upcoming Events: What's new and where to find us next FEATURED BLOGS   Increasing Accessibility of Full-Transcript scRNA-seq Through Continued Innovation Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a rapidly evolving field that is providing researchers with unprecedented insights into the function of individual cells. However, it's no secret that scRNA-seq can often be daunting and time-consuming. In this article we addressed challenges and considerations and shared our innovative way to amplify and sequence.  Read the Full Blog Full-Length scRNA-seq: A Powerful Yet Elusive Goal There are a number of different types of scRNA-seq methods for measuring expressed transcripts in cells, and one way that these methods can diverge is whether they measure only transcript ends or full-length transcripts from those cells. In this article we compare transcript end and full-length sequencing then offer solutions to overcoming the challenges of full-length scRNA-seq. Read the Full Blog Become a seqWell blog subscriber!

A data-driven case study is reviewed along with seqWell technology to make this happen. Enabling Sequencing Applications with Improved Transposase-Based Solutions In this webinar, we explore how transposase-based library technologies are well-suited for a number of challenging high-throughput workflows. We also discuss seqWell's innovations such as purePlex, ExpressPlex and Tagify, which are accelerating critical sequencing-based applications.
