🚩 Jumpcode Genomics DepleteX™ Kit can now be integrated with the BD Rhapsody™ Whole Transcriptome Analysis (WTA) Assay. This combination allows you to efficiently remove unwanted mitochondrial transcript information during library preparation, ensuring high-quality WTA sequencing data without any compromise. Explore the data
🚩We are excited to see the GenomeWeb report of a multi-platform research study comparing single-cell offerings, including instrument-free approaches, that highlights the BD Rhapsody™ System as the preferred single-cell platform for researchers seeking to get great performance data for their research budget. Single-cell experiments can demand a considerable investment of your research dollars and time. Delivering the best performance data for your precious samples in a cost-effective manner is the mission of our single-cell multiomics team.

🚩 BD Rhapsody™ ATAC-Seq Assays are compatible with sample multiplexing. BD® Nuclear Sample Multiplexing Kit can be used to tag nuclei with up to 6 sample multiplexing tags and pooled in an experiment. This works with both standalone and multiomic ATAC assays.
🚩BD Rhapsody™ ATAC-Seq Assays are validated for use with cells preserved in BD® OMICS-Guard Sample Preservation Buffer. Now you can preserve your cells for up to 72 hours at 4 °C in BD® OMICS-Guard Sample Preservation Buffer with no or minimal impact on ATAC or WTA+ATAC sensitivity and specificity.
🚩BD Biosciences was a Platinum Sponsor at the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry CYTO 2024 event in Edinburgh, Scotland. Aruna Ayer, Sr. Director, Single Cell Multiomics and Advanced Technologies presented a poster on “High dimensional biology with high throughput multiomic profiling of single cells.” Download the poster here
🚩 v2.2.1 of the BD Rhapsody™ Sequence Analysis Pipeline is now available. Learn More
June 2024
🚩Product launch : BD Rhapsody™ ATAC-Seq Assays - Our newest assay supports your single-cell epigenomics studies in standalone or multiomics mode with WTA readout
🚩Product launch : BD Rhapsody™ TCR/BCR Next Multiomic Assays- Our next-generation immune profiling assay with increased TCR pairing efficiency supports your single -cell immune repertoire experiments in standalone or multiomics mode with cell surface protein readout
đźš©BD Biosciences was a Gold Sponsor of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) 2024 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. See what we talked about at ABRF

đźš©We announced a collaboration agreement with Hamilton to develop automated applications and robotics-compatible reagent kits that will facilitate increased standardization and decreased human error in large-scale single-cell multiomics experiments. Read the press release.
đźš©There is a new data storage policy on the Seven Bridges Platform starting February 1st, 2024. Files that are stored and are not viewed or used for a period of six months will be automatically archived. Inactive files will be permanently removed from the Seven after a year (6 months after archiving). To avoid any unexpected loss of data, we encourage you to periodically review your stored files and download important data to a permanent location outside of Seven Bridges. If you run this pipeline on your local computer or server, this change does not affect you.
🚩Take a look at our single-cell multiomics roadmap with Ranga Partha , VP of global marketing and strategic growth areas, and Aruna S. Ayer, PhD., senior director of R&D, single cell & advanced technologies. The two of them sat down with GenomeWeb for an exclusive interview to talk about recent and upcoming new products for multiomics research designed for use on the BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System. Read the article on Genome Web.
