General description

MULTI-seq, multiplexing using lipid-tagged indices (lipid-modified oligonucleotides), is a novel tool that facilitates multiplex single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing. This technology provides sample barcoding that is compatible with any cell type or nucleus containing an accessible plasma membrane and allows for streamlined, pooled single-cell sample processing. Learn more about the experiments and data by reviewing our technical article – (MULTI-seq Sample Multiplexing for Single Cell Analysis and Sequencing)

Features and Benefits

  • Efficient. MULTI-seq increases the throughput and decreases the reagent cost of droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing.
  • Flexible. Compatible with any droplet generation platform, the indexing system enables users to run and analyze up to 96 barcoded samples simultaneously in an 8-lane droplet device.
  • Clearer Results. The indices provide data quality advantages over non-indexed analysis methods in the form of doublet identification and retention of data from cells with low RNA content.

Components

The MULTI-seq Lipid Modified Oligos kit is comprised of a lignoceric amide-modified anchor DNA oligo solution and a palmitic amide-modified co-anchor DNA oligo solution. Together, these lipid-modified oligos embed into cell or nuclei membranes and provide a landing pad for DNA barcodes with a complementary 5’ sequence. The MULTI-seq Lipid Modified Oligos kit is intended for upstream sample preparation only, before pooling and single cell analysis.

Reagents Provided


  • LMO001A Lignoceric Anchor with DNA Oligo
  • LMO001B Palmitic Co-anchor with DNA Oligo
Each lipid-modified oligo is supplied at a concentration of 50 μM in water.

Other Notes

  • This product is for R&D use only. Not for drug, household, or other uses.
  • Unique barcode oligos are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Barcode 3’ oligo design with poly-A tail for mRNA enrichment: 5′-CCTTGGCACCCGAGAATTCCA-8-base index-A30-3′

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and function. However the choice of sample multiplexing reagents can impact data quality and experimental outcomes. In this study, we compared various multiplexing reagents, including MULTI-Seq

Sample multiplexing facilitates scRNA-seq by reducing costs and identifying artifacts such as cell doublets. However, universal and scalable sample barcoding strategies have not been described. We therefore developed MULTI-seq: multiplexing using lipid-tagged indices for single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing. MULTI-seq
