The following instruments are available in our laboratory and at partner sequencing platforms, in three groups: sequencing, droplet single-cell partitioning and automated liquid handling. They are used through our sequencing service or sequencing-plus-analysis projects to produce consistent, reproducible multi-omics raw data. Sample-to-report sequencing currently accepts samples shipped within mainland China; researchers elsewhere can send existing data for analysis: see bioinformatics services.
DNA nanoball (rolling-circle amplification) technology reduces PCR amplification bias. Ultra-high-throughput systems produce up to 6 TB per day; benchtop systems use dry-format reagents and are quick to set up.
View specificationsResolve cellular heterogeneity within tissues. The droplet single-cell system captures and barcodes up to 80,000 cells per run; the spatial transcriptomics capture system maps gene expression in intact tissue sections.
View specificationsStandardised, traceable workflows from nucleic acid extraction to sequencing-ready libraries. The liquid-handling workstation has an on-deck PCR thermal cycler and a barcode scanner, LIMS sample tracking throughout, and an enclosure designed to limit aerosol contamination.
