When one is preparing cells for the 10x genomics single cell RNA Seq platform, the manual says to dilute the cells (in media or 1x PBS) into water for a final volume of 46.6ul to achieve your targeted cell recovery. Do users mix their cell suspension in with water, then pipette into the mastermix at this step?

In the 3' v2 protocol, 10x recommended making your mastermix, then adding water to the mastermix and pipette mixing, and then finally adding your cells to the mastermix with water.
The newest 3' v3 protocol, they do not specify an order at that step, but I have been doing it in the same order as the v2 without issue. -
Thanks Joe. It seems very confusing that they would have written so clearly in the v2 manual but this critical description is removed from the v3 manual! I wonder who made such a terrible decision to remove it. Those who pick up the v3 manual and not know of v2 would not be able to see through this. If that is the order required, it should be given in both manuals.Comment

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
