Outlines cell surface protein and intracellular labeling use and guidance for enriching labeled cells using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS).

Cell Surface & Intracellular Protein Labeling for GEM-X Flex Gene Expression

Prepare single cell/nuclei suspension from fresh samples for fixation or from archived samples by following our Demonstrated Protocols.

Sample Prep

Flex Gene Expression enables single cell gene expression on precious samples that were previously inaccessible due to logistical challenges in sample handling. Fixation at the point of sample collection preserves fragile biology and greatly streamlines workflows to provide critical insights on more samples.

Plan ahead by referring to the list of equipment, kits, and reagents needed for Flex Gene Expression.
