BD Rhapsody™ Scanner

A visual workflow QC system that can be combined with a microwell-based single-cell partitioning system.

Overview

The BD Rhapsody^™ Scanner is designed to visualize all steps in the single-cell capture workflow and provide detailed analysis metrics at every step, enabling the user to make key decisions throughout the workflow. The scanner has been redesigned to be compatible for use with the BD Rhapsody^™HT Xpress System and BD Rhapsody^™ 8-Lane Cartridge for higher-throughput applications, enabling a multisample workflow. It can also be used in combination with the BD Rhapsody^™Express System and BD Rhapsody^™ Single-Lane Cartridge for lower-throughput needs.

FEATURES

The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner provides the ability to visualize single-cell capture and provides key quality metrics at every step

The BD Rhapsody^™ Scanner enables visual inspection of the cartridge and of each microwell through an optically clear window on the BD Rhapsody^™Single-Lane or BD Rhapsody^™ 8-Lane Cartridge

The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner provides the ability to visualize single-cell capture and provides key quality metrics at every step

The BD Rhapsody^™Scanner provides quality control measures such as cell capture rate and cell multiplet rates by direct imaging of the cartridge to analyze the quality of the cell preparation. Quality control metrics provide an indication if errors have occurred during the cartridge workflow allowing you to decide whether to proceed to sequencing.

The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner provides the ability to visualize single-cell capture and provides key quality metrics at every step

The viability of the input sample and success of each step of the cartridge workflow can be confirmed, giving the user the power to decide whether to change course or troubleshoot, if necessary, before expensive downstream sequencing
