Real-world approaches to sample QC in single-cell and nucleus prep
June 12, 2025 – 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT / 07:00 PDT
In this webinar, experts from both academia and industry share real-world approaches to quality control in single-cell and nucleus workflows, a critical step for ensuring the success of downstream applications such as single-cell RNA sequencing and multiomics analysis.
The expert speakers will show how the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter enables accurate and reproducible QC, even in challenging samples with high debris levels or low yield. Through advanced imaging and algorithm-based classification, you will see how the FX7 supports reliable assessment of nuclei and cell concentration and viability – with data from a range of sample types including fresh, frozen, fixed, and FFPE preparations.
Key learning objectives:
- Explore real-world applications for improving 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.
