Innovative single-cell RNA-seq kit to support large democratization of insgle-cell analysis

Introduction

This project will develop and perform the industrial scale-up of a game-changing scRNA-seq tool named DEEP-IN-CELL.

Project Overview

This solution, in a kit format plus a cloud software analysis suite, will use the proprietary hydrogel-based RevGel technology of Asteria kit as a basis for a new generation of kit that aims to:

• Dramatically simplify access to single-cell studies
• Provide a shorter time to result
• Offer far easier, robust, and authentic transcriptome-preserving technology
• Reduce cost per sample

Market Impact

This new generation of kit shall bring a similar revolution to the single-cell market as did the Qiagen RNA extraction kit in its time to the genomic market. It will provide performances on par with that of the market gold standard and monopolistic cost-intensive instrument-based single-cell technology, 10xGenomics.

Launch Timeline

This next generation of single-cell RNAseq kit is expected to first launch in late 2024 with initial applications to the international single-cell research market.

Sales Projections

It is anticipated to generate sales exceeding €50M by 2029. The kit is foreseen to become the quintessential single-cell RNAseq kit that will open access to single-cell studies for a much broader research community.
