How to master QC in single-cell and nucleus workflows using real-world applications

March 11, 2026 – 15:00 GMT / 16:00 CET / 11:00 ET / 08:00 PT

As single-cell and multiomics technologies continue to reshape our understanding of complex biology, the importance of high-quality sample preparation has never been greater. Reliable quality control (QC) is essential to ensure that valuable samples - often limited and difficult to obtain - yield meaningful, reproducible data. However, researchers working with diverse sample types, such as frozen or FFPE tissue, often face significant QC challenges.

In this SelectScience webinar, experts from both academia and industry share applications and methods to achieve quality control in single-cell and nucleus workflows to ensure the success of downstream applications. This is a critical step for applications such as single-cell RNA sequencing and multiomics analysis.

Using the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter, speakers will discuss how to achieve accurate and reproducible samples and master quality control, even with challenging samples containing high debris levels or low yields and share data from a range of sample types including fresh, frozen, fixed and FFPE preparations. In addition, you’ll learn how advanced imaging and algorithm-based classification, like that offered with the LUNA-FX7 supports reliable assessments of nuclei and cell concentration as well as cell viability.

Key learning objectives:

• Explore real-lab applications in both academia and industry to improve sample quality in single-cell and nuclei workflows.
• Gain insights into accurate assessment of sample concentration and viability using the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter.
• Learn practical approaches for handling challenging samples such as fixed and FFPE preparations.
