BD Rhapsody™ ATAC-Seq Amplification Kit

After retrieving and washing the Cell Capture Beads from the Rhapsody Cartridge, a ligation mix, prepared using the reagents provided in the kit, is added to the Beads to ligate the double-stranded DNA fragments to the bead oligos. Following that, a gap-filling mix consisting of the Gap-Filling Enzyme and other reagents provided in the kit is prepared and added to the beads to repair the tagmentase-induced nicks in the transposed fragments ligated to the bead oligos.

For detailed instructions on the tagmentation step, splint-bead generation, ligation, gap-filling, and preparation of standalone ATAC-Seq libraries, refer to the protocol Single-Cell ATAC Library Preparation Protocol (Doc ID 23-24473).

For instructions on how to use the BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis system, refer to the BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress Single-Cell Analysis System Instrument User Guide (Doc ID 23-24257) or the BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System Instrument User Guide for Scanner-free Workflow (Doc ID 23-24256).

For sample preparation prior to the library construction, refer to the protocol BD Rhapsody™ System Preparing Single Cell Suspensions Protocol (Doc ID 23-24126) and Rhapsody HT Single-Cell Capture and Analysis System Single-Cell Capture and cDNA Synthesis Protocol (Doc ID 23-24252).

For information on the bioinformatic pipeline for the ATAC-Seq assay, refer to BD® Single-Cell Multiomics Bioinformatics Handbook (Doc ID 54169).

For safety information, see the BD Rhapsody ™ Single-Cell Analysis System Instrument User Guide (Doc ID 23-24257).
