ZHANG Min, the person in charge of Molecular and Cellular Biology Core Facility, gave a detailed introduction and description of the system. According to her introduction ,the Chromium single cell gene expression solution provides single cell transcriptome 3' gene expression profiles of cells. . The system can run up to 8 channels (100~80,000 cells )simultaneously with a cell capture rate of >30%. After a fruitful discussion of its operability and technical index, the bio-instrument was accepted with unanimous approval by experts.
With Special Funds for Repairing and Purchasing, the hardware level of ION has increased continuously which accelerates the progress of scientific research achievements.
