• Multiplet Rate: 2–3% at 10,000 cell load; 8–10% at 40,000 cell load
• Microwell Technology: 220,000 microwell partitions per cartridge
• Loading Volume: 575 uL cell suspension.
• Gentle Gravity-based Capture: suitable for fragile cell types: granulocytes, neutrophils, CAR-T cells, stem cells, tumor xenograft-derived cells, T cells, NK cells, etc.

Customization/Options: N/A

Testing performed by our in-house service team:
The Rhapsody Single-Cell Analysis System passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:
• We powered on and initialized the system.
• We verified the functionality of the touch screen display.
• We completed the cell loading process.
• We completed the bead loading process.
• We performed and verified the bead wash procedure.
• We completed the sample retrieval without issues.
• We tested and confirmed the internal camera function. (Images shown were taken during testing.)
• We completed motion control testing.
• We tested tray ejection and retraction.
• We checked the side door operation.

Instrument Overview:
• BD Rhapsody Express System uses microwell tech for single-cell capture without fluidic pumps.
• Each cartridge holds over 220,000 microwells, accommodating up to 40,000 cells.
• Gravity-based cell settling minimizes stress, ideal for fragile cells.
• BD Rhapsody Scanner offers visual QC, assessing cell capture and multiplet rates.
• The system ensures minimal batch effects across replicates and sites.
• BD Rhapsody Express System supports flexible experimental designs with archived beads.

Instrument Application:
• Profiling gene expression at the single-cell level
• Investigating immune cell heterogeneity
• Identifying rare cell populations
• Studying tumor microenvironments

The Key Features:
• High-throughput single-cell RNA analysis
• Multiplex sample and antibody compatibility
• Bead-based mRNA capture technology
• Integrated with BD's sequencing workflow
• Compact design for benchtop use
• Barcode-based cell/sample identification

CRITICAL TECHNICAL STEPS WE TAKE TO ENSURE INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE & CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

They want to ensure the cytometer undergoes full fluidics system decontamination, flushing, and inspection to protect the valves and flow sensors from damage.
________________________________________
They want to ensure the cytometer has no residual sheath salt buildup in the flow cell, which could skew scatter data and, and if improperly cleaned, can damage the flow cell.
________________________________________
They want to confirm that all detectors, including forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) detectors, can be aligned and calibrated for particle sizing and granularity resolution.
________________________________________
They want assurance that baseline performance has been verified using standardized particles, with data or log files available for review.
________________________________________
They want to confirm that electronic noise and EMI levels at the detector/amplifier stage remain within tolerance and will not distort signal fidelity.
________________________________________
They want to ensure that no fiber optic cables are missing, misrouted, or defective, which can lead to diminished fluorophore excitation or signal dropout.
________________________________________
They want to confirm that no power degradation or misalignment in laser paths is detected through precise mW-level measurement at the final optics output.
________________________________________
They want to ensure that optical filters and dichroic mirrors have been inspected for delamination, spectral shift, or contamination that could compromise signal specificity.
________________________________________
They want to ensure the sample flow rate is linear and stable across a full range of flow settings, verified with volumetric calibration and pressure profiling.
________________________________________
They want to ensure the system passes automated QC and performance tracking with reproducible CVs for bead standards across multiple channels.
________________________________________
They want to ensure the fluidics pump assembly does not exhibit pulsation, drift, or backpressure due to check valve wear or micro-leaks.
________________________________________
They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.
