Technical Bulletins


Technology Bulletins Released for Rhapsody Products:

  1. Ordering Additional Indexes for Rhapsody
    • Index primers are used to uniquely label individual libraries so that multiple libraries can be sequenced in a single Illumina® sequencing run. This technical bulletin provides quick guides and instructions for ordering additional indexing primers for BD Rhapsody™ Sequencing Libraries.
    • Doc ID: 23-22747-00
    • Revision date: 06/2020
  2. How to Operate the BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis VDJ CDR3 Pipeline
    • This technical bulletin is a supplement to the BD® Single-Cell Multiomics Bioinformatics Handbook and provides a step-by-step instructions on how to operate the BD Rhapsody Targeted Analysis VDJ CDR3 Pipeline.
    • Doc ID: 23-22817-00
    • Revision date: 07/2020
  3. Processing nuclei samples on the BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System
    • In this technical bulletin, we show how isolated nuclei can be captured and amplified on the BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System.
    • Doc ID: 23-23161-00
    • Revision date: 10/2020
  4. Co-staining cells with fluorescent antibodies and BD Oligo-Conjugated Antibodies
    • Here, we address how to co-stain cells with the same clone of both fluorescent antibodies and oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies (BD® Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit or BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligos).
    • Doc ID: 23-23247-00
    • Revision date: 03/2021
  5. Integration of the Element AVITITM System with BD RhapsodyTM Single-Cell Assays creates a powerful solution for the immuno-oncology researcher
    • In this application note, we show compatibility of Element’s novel sequencing system with BD RhapsodyTM Single-Cell Assays.
    • Doc ID: BD-63787 (v1.0)
    • Revision date: 10/2022
  6. Highly scalable and more sensitive CRISPR screens using the BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System
    • This study showcases an efficient approach based on Aelian’s well-established CROP-seq workflow in combination with the targeted single-cell RNA sequencing assay on the BD Rhapsody Single-Cell Analysis System. Targeted sequencing lowers the cost and at the same time enhances the sensitivity of the experiment, enabling the detection
      of more subtle transcriptomic phenotypes.

  7. BD Rhapsody™ HT Express 8 lane vs single lane cartridge 
    • The BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System is a higher-throughput system that leverages our proprietary, gentle, and robust microwell single-cell partitioning technology to perform single-cell analysis. It offers the same performance as the BD Rhapsody™ Express System and features a flexible cartridge design with the ability to run up to eight times the number of lanes at once in the same amount of time as the BD Rhapsody™ Express System.
