BD Rhapsody™ Scanner: Precision for Cell Analysis
The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner is an essential solution for cell biology research and single-cell analysis. Integrated into the BD Rhapsody™ systems workflow, this tool provides real-time visualization of the various stages of the cell capture process. Its intuitive interface provides detailed metrics, allowing researchers to make informed decisions at each phase of their experiment and optimize their workflow based on the results obtained.
This scanner was designed to meet the requirements of cell biology and genomics research laboratories, whether working on high-throughput applications with the BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System or on smaller sample sizes with the BD Rhapsody™ Express System. It thus adapts to the needs of researchers wishing to process a large number of cells in a single experiment or those requiring more targeted analysis. Thanks to its imaging technology, it allows precise control of each step of cell capture, ensuring low multiplet counts and high retention of viable cells. This increased reliability is a major advantage for single-cell multiomics studies, where data quality is paramount.
The major innovation of the BD Rhapsody™ Scanner lies in its gravity-based cell capture approach, a technology that avoids the clogging issues often encountered with systems using microchannels. This method ensures optimal cell recovery, including particularly fragile cells such as granulocytes, CAR-T cells, and stem cells. By avoiding the loss of valuable biological material, this scanner ensures better sample integrity and more reliable analysis results.
With a capture capacity of up to 80% and the ability to process large sample volumes, the BD Rhapsody™ Scanner offers researchers unparalleled flexibility. It also enables precise monitoring of cell viability and multiplet counts prior to sequencing, helping to reduce analysis costs and optimize the use of the data obtained.
The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner represents a strategic asset for laboratories seeking to maximize the quality and reliability of their cellular analyses. Its technology and intuitive interface make it an essential tool for cell biology and genomics research.
