BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System

Fast track single-cell research without compromise

Overview

The BD Rhapsody^™ HT Xpress System leverages our proprietary, gentle, robust micro-well based single-cell partitioning technology to perform single cell analysis. The system is capable of barcoding and capturing more than 640,000 single cells per cartridge, making million cell studies now possible. The BD Rhapsody^™ HT Xpress offers the same performance as the BD Rhapsody^™ Express system but features a new flexible cartridge design with the ability to run up to 8 times the number of lanes at one time with a broad range of cell input, from 100-800,000 cells per cartridge.

BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System Sample Integrity

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, the ability to run million cell studies easily, and comparable WTA sensitivity and gene correlation across all 8 cartridge 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, with ability to capture a high number of viable cells across 8-lanes with a less than 0.5% cell label collision rate enabled by the BD Rhapsody™ Enhanced Cell Capture Beads
