“I’m really excited about the BD Horizon RealBlue^™ 780 Dye. The staining we have done so far with Ki-67 and Granzyme B can be seen very clearly, even with high dilutions.”

The BD Rhapsody^™ single-cell platform has been a key tool for the publication of our clinical research. It allowed us to study gene expression from immune populations of frozen PBMCs from people living with HIV after a nutritional intervention. After the analysis, we got very interesting information about the changes in genes that were up or downregulated before and after the intervention. These subtle changes would not have been discovered without the use of a powerful, highly sensitive technique such as the BD Rhapsody^™ single-cell platform.

We prefer the Rhapsody™ system for single cell RNA-Seq on our samples as it allows us to see what we have loaded before committing to expensive downstream analysis. The imaging is also indispensable for visualizing rare cancer cells in our liquid biopsy applications, as it provides insight even before characterizing the multiomic profile.
