Transform your single cell research with next-generation Quantum Barcoding technology

Massively parallelized barcoding gets an exponential upgrade with our newest platform, QuantumScale, powered by our innovative Quantum Barcoding technology. Unleash the most powerful single cell technology to go boldly where your experiments take you.  

Quantum Barcoding technology: Revolutionary single cell at any scale

Supercharge your single cell experiments with industry-leading sample throughput while minimizing your time at the bench with the QuantumScale platform. Novel Quantum Barcoding plates and uniquely barcoded beads provide an unprecedented level of single cell barcoding instrument-free and with minimal effort, enabling you to flexibly scale the number of samples, timepoints, conditions, and replicates, with ease. Leave droplet and traditional combinatorial indexing methods behind and join us for the next great leap in single cell.

Watch how it works

Unlike combinatorial indexing strategies that require additional split-and-pool steps for increasing the barcode space and therefore the number of unique cells that can be analyzed, Quantum Barcoding consolidates many levels of barcoding, cutting the amount of hands-on time by over 75%. 

From sample to insights: Powerful Quantum Barcoding technology behind a simplified workflow

Quantum barcoding tech update

1. Reverse transcription: Cells or nuclei undergo reverse transcription, adding a RT barcode and molecular barcode to each transcript (not shown). All wells are pooled and redistributed into the Quantum Barcoding Plate.

2. Quantum Barcoding: Bead-based barcodes are ligated to cDNA in microwells. All wells are pooled and redistributed into tubes

3. PCR indexing & final library construction: Library indices are added during PCR amplification.

ScalePlex: Multiplexing without the hassle

Sample multiplexing can be a tedious process where cells or nuclei often require multiple rounds of washes, taking up precious time and resulting in sample loss. With ScalePlex, our unique oligo-based barcodes can be added to individual samples during fixation, eliminating wash steps until after pooling. ScalePlex is species- and sample type-agnostic and requires no upfront optimization, making it simple to use right out of the box.
