Research on STAMP Profiling in Single-Cell RNA Sequencing highlights the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter

An article released by Cell Press Journal entitled, ‘STAMP: Single-cell transcriptomics analysis and multimodal profiling through imaging ’, showcases the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter and its role in this collaborative effort by principal investigators across the globe.

Lead author, Dr. Luciano Martelotto, Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics, School of Biomedicine, the University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia, and Dr. Jasmine T. Plummer, Center for Spatial Omics, Department of Developmental Neurobiology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, USA selected the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter to use in their labs’ research efforts.

While the use of single-cell genomics has drastically improved the landscape of genetic research and development, its limitations have remained high costs, scalability, and cell destruction during analysis.

The multi-disciplinary team worked together to develop STAMP (Single-Cell Transcriptomics Analysis and Multimodal Profiling) to offer a more affordable option for single-cell profiling while enabling scalable and flexible single-cell genomics imaging.

With the development of STAMP, researchers now have a framework for sequencing-free single-cell profiling, enabling the transcriptomic and multimodal (RNA + protein) analysis of millions of cells.

The LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter was credited for its role in cell counting, cell viability and concentration analysis, clustering analysis, and nuclei assessments. Cell counts involved a variety of cell lines, including cancer cells, stem cells, PBMCs, and rare cell types. In addition, Logos Biosystems’ AO/PI Cell Viability Kit (F23011) was used for cell counting and viability measurements.
