Sequencing single cells in suspensions are a popular emerging set of protocols being used across many diverse fields of study such as neurology, developmental biology, immunology and oncology.  High Throughput NGS provides the ability to profile hundreds of thousands of single cells or more in parallel in a single experiment.  A critical step to getting high quality data in a single cell experiment is to start with a suspension of fully dissociated, intact, highly viable cells. We will review best practices for preparing cell suspensions and present innovative solutions from Miltenyi Biotec for fast, reliable sample preparation. Further, it is critical to ensure the quantity and quality of the cells present in the cellular suspension and the quality of the final sequencing library.  We will demonstrate how shallow sequencing can not only save time and money but also leads to more consistent sequencing results and simplified data analysis and interpretation.
