Overview: Integrated single-cell analysis with the ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System
Discover how the ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System's open, integrated platform gives researchers flexibility, confidence, and control for their single-cell analysis.
Video resources
To educate and inform our customers about the latest developments in single-cell automation, we have created the following videos and webinars describing ICELL8 technology and the wide variety of applications for which it can be used.
Featured overview: introducing the latest in bioinformatics data analysis
Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline and Cogent NGS Discovery Software
In this video, we introduce the features of Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline and Cogent NGS Discovery Software bioinformatic tools for analyzing your single-cell NGS data. Sequencing data produced from applications run on the ICELL8 single-cell systems are first demultiplexed and analyzed with the Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline. The R cluster data file or raw gene expression matrix and metadata files output from this analysis can then be input into the Cogent NGS Discovery Software, a tool that provides the user control to perform QC filtering, normalization, and transformation to visualize the data output into publication-ready charts.
Note: This video refers to "mappa" and "hanta" software, which are older versions of our Cogent NGS tools, Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline and Cogent NGS Discovery Software, respectively.
Please stay tuned for more video tutorials on the Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline and Cogent NGS Discovery Software tools demonstrating installation and usage walkthroughs.

CellSelect Software walkthrough
This powerful software quickly identifies, selects, and prepares only the cells you want. This walkthrough shows you how the software identifies live single cells, how you can manually triage your samples, and how to explore custom settings to maximize single cell isolation.
Complete T-cell receptor sequencing on the ICELL8 Single-Cell System
In this webinar, Dr. Sarah Taylor (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) and Thomas Schaal (WaferGen Bio-systems, since acquired by Takara Bio) discuss the ability to characterize T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity by identifying the TCR-alpha and TCR-beta clonotypes expressed in hundreds of single cells using Takara Bio's SMART cDNA synthesis and a RACE-based library-generation approach on the ICELL8 Single-Cell System.
ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System: power and flexibility to get the data you want
In this webinar, Andrew Farmer (CSO/Head of R&D, TBUSA) introduces the ICELL8 Single-Cell System (formerly SMARTer ICELL8 Single-Cell System) for automated NGS applications. Topics include the adaptation of SMARTer TCR a/b profiling and full-length SMART-Seq chemistry for the ICELL8 instrument, as well as the unveiling of the more streamlined ICELL8 cx Single-Cell System.
On-demand webinar: automating cardiomyocyte research using the ICELL8 Single-Cell System
Single-cell genomic studies of cardiomyocytes can be difficult due to the cells' large size and fragility. Recently, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research were able to use the ICELL8 Single-Cell System to overcome the challenges with handling mono- and multi-nucleated cardiomyocytes.
