BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System

Fast track single-cell research without compromise

Overview

The new BD Rhapsody^™ HT Xpress System is a higher-throughput platform that leverages our proprietary, gentle, robust microwell-based single-cell partitioning technology to perform single cell analysis. The system is capable of single-cell capture and barcoding enabling capture of more than 320,000 cells per cartridge, making million-cell studies now possible. The BD Rhapsody^™HT Xpress System offers the same performance as the BD Rhapsody^™Express System, now featuring a new flexible cartridge design with the ability to run up to eight times the number of lanes at one time with a broad range of cell input, from 100–440,000 cells per cartridge.

Features

Expanded throughput

Million-cell studies now possible
Capable of capturing more than 320,000 cells per cartridge
Up to 80% cell capture rate (for certain cell types)
Low multiplet rate per lane

Flexible cartridge design

Up to 192 samples per cartridge (up to 24 samples per lane)
Partial use of cartridge enables:
- Running more or different types of experiments
- Processing samples together or on different days (up to four months)

Maintain sample integrity

Gentle microwell technology
No sample loss due to clogging of channels
Recover cells with disparate size and morphology, including fragile cell types
Subsample and archive cell capture beads for flexibility with experimental design and collaborating across sites with equivalent data obtained from fresh beads

Performance

The BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System provides enhanced cell capture, ability to run million cell studies easily, and comparable WTA sensitivity and gene correlation across 8 lanes

BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System Provides Broad Range Cell Input

Broad range of cell input with up to 80% cell capture and a mutiplet rate that follows Poisson rates

Run million cell studies, capturing more than 320,000 viable cells

Million-cell studies now possible, capturing more than 320,000 viable cells across eight lanes with a less than 0.5% cell label collision rate enabled by the BD Rhapsody™ Enhanced Cell Capture Beads
