Does SeekOne DD 3' scRNA-seq support fixed samples?
2026-06-23
Answer:
Fixed tissues are not supported.
However, methanol-fixed cells and nuclei are compatible under certain conditions.
Methanol-fixed nuclei:
- Recommended for single-nucleus RNA-seq workflows.
- Compared to unfixed nuclei, methanol fixation has been observed to improve median gene counts and fraction of reads.
- Recommended input: >50,000 nuclei prior to fixation
- Storage: up to 3 months at −80°C
Methanol-fixed cells:
- Supported but not recommended unless necessary (e.g., for transport).
- Compared to fresh cells:
- Slight increase in mitochondrial gene percentage (due to membrane permeability changes)
- Slight increase in ambient RNA background (UMI)
- Overall gene detection remains sufficient for clustering analysis
- Slight increase in mitochondrial gene percentage (due to membrane permeability changes)
