Rhapsody Single-Cell Analysis System Configuration:

• Type: microwell-based, high-throughput single-cell analysis system.
• Primary Function: capture of multiomic information (gene expression, protein expression, TCR/BCR repertoire) from single cells for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library generation.
• Cell Throughput per Cartridge: 100 to 40,000 cells.
• Capture Rate: up to 80% for certain cell types.
• Specific rates: 40,000 cells: 83% capture, 88% (20k), 90% (10k)
• Multiplet Rate: 2–3% at 10,000 cell load; 8–10% at 40,000 cell load
• Microwell Technology: 220,000 microwell partitions per cartridge
• Loading Volume: 575 uL cell suspension.
• Gentle Gravity-based Capture: suitable for fragile cell types: granulocytes, neutrophils, CAR-T cells, stem cells, tumor xenograft-derived cells, T cells, NK cells, etc.

Customization/Options: N/A

Testing performed by our in-house service team:

The Rhapsody Single-Cell Analysis System passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:

• We powered on and initialized the system.
• We verified the functionality of the touch screen display.
• We completed the cell loading process.
• We completed the bead loading process.
• We performed and verified the bead wash procedure.
