LOW INPUT SAMPLES

At omiics, we specialize in low input samples for RNA NGS.


Because of our impeccable laboratory work and expert customized bioinformatics, you can fully trust the results and focus on the implications of the data.

Single cell sequencing

To dissect the inherent functionalities of tissue heterogenity, the use of single cell sequencing is rising. 

SMART-seq Single Cell


For an end-to-end single cell sequencing solution, we offer SMART-Seq


One methodology involve the use of SMARTer Stranded Total RNA kit, which combines strandeness and effective removal of ribosomal cDNA on a low number of cell, even single cell, such as FACS cells.


Previous project, were we used the technology: 



10 X Genomics


omiics is experienced with the 10X Genomics technology and offer bioinformatic analysis of resulting data.


Furthermore, we can facilitate access to the necessary equipment for academic research collaborations, however, currently we do not have licence for commercial projects. 


Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) Samples

RNA-sequencing on FACS sorted cells allows for characterization of heterogeneous cell function in a tissue sample, which provide the possibility for precision study.


The omiics team has a wealth of experience in working with FACS sorted cells.



We have different kinds NGS solutions for the samples with different input cell numbers, no matter how low the number of cells!

Biofluids


Cell-free biofluids have enormous diagnostic and clinical potential. The quantity of RNAs in the fluids can be exceptionally low and expert sample preparation is recommended.

Fixed Tissue 

Compared to fresh frozen tissue, the RNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is highly degraded and chemically modified. But the abundance, availability and rich clinical data make FFPE samples very interesting to investigate.


The omiics team can provide both a NGS solution and nanoString panels designed for FFPE samples.



omiics is experienced with plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), salivia, bile, etc.

            - We have even successfully identified tRNAs in human embryo culture media!

Even cell-free fluids may contain RNA that have been secreted from cells in the local tissue, or transfered from other parts of the body by blood or lymph. 


A shift in RNA patterns can be an early sign of changes in the body and as such has a strong potential as biomarker, both by invasive (CSF, plasma, bile) and  non-invasive testing (saliva, urine, sweat).
