10x Genomics announces plan to deliver single cell analysis

At the Human Cell Atlas General Meeting held September 29-30 in Milan, Italy, 10x Genomics shared new details about its upcoming product roadmap and its ongoing strategy to democratize access to single cell analysis. During its Foundational Sponsor talk in the Sept. 29 Technology Showcase, 10x Genomics announced an imminent plan to deliver “single cell for a single cent.” Through a series of new products and configurations expected to launch this quarter, 10x Genomics intends to deliver mega-scale single cell analysis at a cost as low as 1c per cell. 10x Genomics believes its upcoming launches, which enable 2.5 million cells per run and 5 million cells per kit, will be the most cost effective single cell products available for CRISPR screens, cell atlassing projects and other high-throughput applications. In addition to new solutions for mega-scale applications, 10x Genomics’ planned launches this quarter will feature cost effective products to increase access to and adoption of single cell in additional applications and use cases. These new offerings are expected to enable researchers to perform single cell experiments, even at a small scale, for approximately $560 per sample.
