Our core has been using the Fluidigm C1 Single Cell Analyzer for generating cDNA for Illumina seq with the NEXTera kits. Do any other cores offer this service? I was trying to establish a fair price and looking to see what kind of issues others have encountered? So far, the biggest problem we have encountered is capture inefficiency on the C1 chip. However, with certain cultured cells we have gotten great capture. We normally run into problems with primary cells dying in the chip. Anyone have any troubleshooting advice?

I wish I had advice but we are having the same issue.
The only thing we have discovered is that even though they tell you that you can run the capture up to 3X to increase the capture number on the small cells, it isn't worth the time and effort-you might get 2 more.

We're interested in trying single-cell RNA seq as well. Does anyone know of a core or service provider currently offering this as a service?
Can those of you who have the fluidigm system in hand give any info as to the price? In this thread, $23/sample was mentioned as the library cost. Does that seem right?
Thanks for any help or additional thoughts. I'm very interested to see whether this is feasible for us!

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

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...-
