Novel Instrument for Low-Cost Single-Cell Analysis Developed

Scientists at the New York Genome Center (NYGC) and New York University (NYU) say they have begun to facilitate broad access to single-cell sequencing by developing a 3D-printed, portable and low-cost microfluidic controller. To demonstrate the utility of the instrument in clinical environments, the researchers deployed the device to study synovial tissue from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). The precise cause of RA is undetermined and muddl
