How to isolate and count intact nuclei

This eBook explores advances in quality control methods for nuclei sample prep

6 Nov 2024

Isolating clean, intact nuclei is vital for the success of single-nucleus workflows such as RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq). High-quality, debris-free samples are essential for accurate library preparation and downstream analyses, as debris can hinder precise nuclei counting. Traditional manual counting methods, while reliable, are time-consuming and prone to human error, especially with large sample volumes.

This eBook explores automated nuclei counting and quality control using the DeNovix CellDrop Automated Cell Counter. With features like DirectPipettetechnology that eliminates costly consumables, advanced fluorescence applications, and user-friendly software, researchers can improve accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in sample preparation. Discover practical tips to streamline workflows, minimize variability, and enhance experimental outcomes.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.

Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
