FAQ

What is Mission Bio Tapestri?

Mission Bio’s Tapestri is a high-throughput, single-cell multi-omics platform that simultaneously analyzes DNA (SNVs, CNVs), proteins, and RNA within thousands of individual cells. This platform supports cancer research, MRD tracking, and cell therapy development by identifying rare cell populations and clonal evolution. It features multi-omic analysis capabilities, allowing for the detection of DNA mutations and surface proteins concurrently, withrecent updates enabling integrated RNA analysis. The workflow utilizes a two-step microfluidic droplet-based method to encapsulate cells, barcode them, and perform targeted multiplex PCR.

What Does End-To-End Service Through The IGC Mean?

After consultation with our Single Genomics team, customers can drop off a single cell suspension of cells they would like captured. We work to establish an agreed upon capture rate, perform the capture, sequencing libraries, quality libraries are sequenced and data returned after first pass analysis on the platform proprietary software. Our goal is to make the process from cells to usable data as seamless as possible to the researcher.

How do I get a consultation appointment for single cell experimentation?

To set up an appointment for single cell consultation, e-mail, Emanuele Palescandolo, [email protected].

Following a consultation with our Single Genomics team, customers can submit a single cell or nucleus suspension for capture. We collaborate with you to determine an agreed capture rate, then execute the capture and sequencing of libraries. Quality libraries are sequenced, and data are provided after an initial analysis using the platform’s proprietary software. Our aim is to ensure a seamless transition from cells to usable data for researchers.

How do I determine the price of an experiment?

During your consultation with Emanuele Palescandolo, pricing will be discussed once it is decided how to proceed with your experiment.

Should I Use Single Cells Or Nuclei For My Experiment?

Nuclei are often used when isolating live cells is challenging or when the tissue is frozen.  Cells that are too large for the microfluidics channels of the 10x Chromium system, present a challenging shape or are not easily dissociated from tissue, would be more suitable for nuclei isolation. The team will discuss the available options during the consultation phase.

What Do I Need To Consider in Preparing Cells?

Single cell capture works most effectively when cells are less than 30 microns in size, cells are fully dissociated and in a single cell suspension, minimal debris is present in the suspension and cells present with greater than 90% viability.

The cell processing efficiency in capture is 65%. Cell capture targets can range from 500- 10,000 cells. A minimum of 2.5 x the target cells will be needed to ensure a successful capture.

What makes a good quality single cell sample?

Clean

Single cell suspensions must be free from debris, cell aggregates, and any other contaminants (such as background RNA, DNA, or EDTA).

Healthy

You want your cells to be alive! We recommend at least 90% viability.

Intact

Unless you are using isolated nuclei, it’s very important to maintain intact cellular membranes, which requires that the cells be treated very gently. We recommend using wide-bore pipette tips to slowly, gently resuspend cells.

Sample Preparation

Single Cell Isolation with Levitas

The Levitas LC1 (LeviCell® 1.0) redefines single-cell isolation by utilizing a sophisticated, non-invasive approach to sample preparation. Unlike traditional methods that rely on high-pressure fluidics or harsh labeling, the LC1 uses Levitation Technology to separate cells based on their physical properties.

Single Cell Isolation with Miltenyi

The Miltenyi Biotec MACS® (Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting) system is for isolating high-quality single cells with speed and precision. By leveraging a combination of proprietary magnetic bead technology and gentle fluidics, it ensures that your downstream assays—from NGS to cell culture—begin with a pure, viable, and representative population.

Single Cell Genomics through the IGC is a joint effort between the Cell Center & the Single Cell, Spatial, and Functional Genomics Laboratories.

We offer support on single cell isolation, training for capture and sequencing and analysis service.
