SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED SINGLE CELL PROCESSING AND ANALYSES

Abstract:

A system and method for automated single cell capture and processing is described, where the system includes a deck supporting and positioning a set of sample processing elements (including an integrated imaging subsystem); a gantry for actuating tools for interactions with the set of sample processing elements supported by the deck; and a base supporting various processing subsystems and a control subsystems in communication with the processing subsystems. The system can automatically execute workflows associated with single cell processing, including antibody detection, other protein detection, mRNA detection, and/or other applications associated with spatial transcriptomics.
