Singleron Biotechnologies Collaborates with Human Cell Atlas to Broaden Global Access to Single-Cell Analysis
Wednesday, June 19, 2024
Singleron Biotechnologies has partnered with the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) to accelerate global adoption of single-cell sequencing. Through this collaboration, Singleron will provide its single-cell analysis platform at discounted rates to HCA members.
Single-cell analysis is gaining traction but faces significant challenges, particularly for new users and researchers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. These challenges span the entire workflow, from tissue collection to data analysis. Singleron aims to improve access to single-cell sequencing, helping researchers worldwide overcome common obstacles and making this technology more accessible.
HCA, expressed enthusiasm about Singleron's participation in HCA's Commercial Discount Program, stating, "We're thrilled that Singleron has joined our initiative to empower the scientific endeavors of our collaborating members globally."
Singleron addresses several key challenges in the single-cell workflow. A major issue is tissue dissociation, which varies by tissue and sample type. Consistent sample handling is crucial for quality data, and Singleron provides solutions with automated tissue dissociation instruments and optimized reagents, supported by extensive experience across various sample and tissue types.
For researchers lacking access to specialized instruments, Singleron offers a manual kit requiring only a micropipette, enabling them to obtain high-quality single-cell data. This kit is ideal for smaller projects and offers the flexibility to scale up as needed.
Analyzing single-cell data poses another hurdle, requiring specialized expertise and computing resources that are not always available. Jonathan Scolnick, PhD, General Manager of Singleron Biotechnologies in Singapore, emphasized, "We believe that lack of bioinformatics expertise should not hinder researchers from answering their biological questions."
To support researchers of all backgrounds, Singleron provides:
- A bioinformatics bootcamp for teams looking to develop their capabilities
- Code-free software for advanced data analysis, accessible even to non-bioinformatics experts
- Customized bioinformatics services tailored to specific project needs
By offering flexible single-cell analysis solutions and comprehensive support, Singleron empowers researchers globally to generate high-quality data and gain meaningful biological insights.
