Finally, Fluidigm Corporation (NASDAQ:FLDM), ended its last trade with -3.15% loss, and closed at $11.38.

Fluidigm Corporation declared commercial availability of a new high throughput single-cell mRNA sequencing workflow for its C1TM system to enable large-scale studies to characterize heterogeneous samples. This validated workflow comprises a new advanced integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) and reagent kit that significantly enhances throughput and ease-of-use, while simultaneously decreasing the cost of preparation and sequencing (by maximizing sequencer capacity) on a per-cell basis. The C1 mRNA Seq HT application is the first and only commercial product to address large single-cell studies and is accessible recently.

Researchers can apply the new HT workflow to explore heterogeneity in fields such as cancer, neuroscience, stem cell biology, and immunology to understand how the underlying cellular mechanisms impact biological processes or disease progression. This new offering is a complete solution that enables scientists to deeply explore the diversity of cell subpopulations, quickly discover novel or rare cell types, and enhance the statistical sample size to better estimate biological variation between similar cell types.

The C1 mRNA Seq HT IFC can capture up to 800 cells at a time, and employs a new protocol to facilitate two runs – or 1600 cells – a day. Additionally, the IFC features two cell-loading inlets to facilitate “case as compared to controls” studies, allowing users more flexibility in their experimental design. The assay protocol enables on-IFC multiplexing and cell pooling that provides users with a streamlined workflow. The complete workflow reduces customer library preparation costs by about 85% when contrast to the original C1 mRNA Seq IFC costs, while maintaining the automation and reproducibility of the C1 platform.

Fluidigm Corporation creates, manufactures, and markets technologies and life science tools focused on the exploration and analysis of single cells, in addition to the industrial application of genomics.
