Sample Preservation Before Single-Cell Analysis
Most single-cell experiments don't fail at sequencing. They fail at the freezer.
The window between tissue collection and cell capture is where viability drops, RNA degrades, and rare populations disappear — quietly, before any data is generated. The kits in this collection are built to close that window.
Short-term storage: buy time without losing biology
The FireGene Animal Tissue Storage Kit keeps dissociated tissue viable at 2–8°C for up to 72 hours. That's enough time to ship from a surgical suite to your sequencing core, coordinate across time zones, or batch samples from multiple collection sites — without compromising cell-type representation or nucleated cell rate.
Long-term cryopreservation: freeze smarter
Conventional snap-freezing works until it doesn't. Ice crystal damage and osmotic stress don't show up in your storage log — they show up as low-quality clusters and missing populations downstream. The FireGene Animal Tissue Freezing Kit uses gradient-based cryoprotection to slow that damage at the membrane level, supporting reliable post-thaw recovery for -80°C and liquid nitrogen storage.
Validated where it counts
Both systems have been tested across 150+ tissue types — brain, liver, lung, tumor, reproductive, and more — in real scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq projects. Not just viability numbers: captured cell counts, median genes, and nucleated cell rates, the metrics that actually predict whether your library prep will work.
Compatible with 10x Genomics, BD Rhapsody, and Parse Bioscience workflows.
