This experiment blew my mind. In their first go with the upcoming @illumina single cell M1 kit, the @broadinstitute were able to analyze >5M cells in 5 days in an early access test of our perturbseq technology:

[Illumina @illumina]

Today in our 2nd Industry Education Session at #ASHG25, Sheila Dodge, Chief Operating Officer - Broad Clinical Labs, presented hot off the press early access data from a PerturbSeq experiment comprising >5 million cells processed in just 5 days, plug-and-play in their first attempt. Illumina Single Cell technology removes limitations in single cell analysis—scaling from 100s to 1M cells in one tube. (8/9)
