Abstract
Single-cell RNA sequencing has evolved into a benchmark application to study cellular heterogeneity, advancing our understanding of cellular differentiation, disease progression, and gene regulation in a multitude of research areas. The generation of high-quality cDNA, an important step in the experimental workflow when generating sequence-ready libraries, is critical to maximizing data quality. Here we describe a strategy that uses a microfluidic device (i.e., the C1™ IFC) to synthesize full-length cDNA from single cells in a fully automated, nanoliter-scale format. The device also facilitates confirmation of the presence of a single, viable cell and recording of phenotypic information, quality control measures that are crucial for streamlining downstream data processing and enhancing overall data validity.
