Why scale up?


Single cell studies are currently limited by expensive technologies or complex experimental workflows. Without the ability to profile high numbers of cells or samples, these studies have limited statistical power to detect true biological signal.  

Scale Bio is on a mission to drastically reduce the complexity of highly powered, robust single cell experiments while simultaneously making single cell more affordable to enable your groundbreaking research.  

The Power of Scale: How to reimagine your single cell experiments

Reimagine single cell with us

Cell Atlasing

  • Amplify your atlasing efforts with more samples and cells to detect novel and rare cell types  

  • Increase your power to identify disease-specific aberrations

  • With the least hands-on time and lowest cost, get your atlas done with fewer resources  


Biomarker and Drug Discovery 

  • Identify disease-relevant cell types and targets with confidence across more samples

  • High-throughput drug screening is now possible – capture additional compounds, conditions, timepoints – with a high-definition readout 


Large Patient Cohorts  

  • You don't have to choose favorites– run more of your samples for the greatest statistical power

  • Streamline processing by fixing and storing samples until you're ready to run

  • Scale up sample numbers with the confidence of high data quality and reproducibility

  • Incorporate diverse sample sets to enhance representation across ancestral backgrounds, genders, and age groups


Longitudinal and Multi-Site Studies 

  • Collect 10s to 100s of samples across different locations and process together without worrying about batch effects  

  • Power your studies by capturing additional timepoints for a more complete picture 


Functional Genomics 

  • Break through the limitations of legacy single cell technology and test 100s to 1,000s of perturbations in a single experiment  

  • Scale your pooled CRISPR screens to identify novel differentiation pathways, drug targets, resistance mechanisms 


Why Scale Bio?

IMAGE-115542-1727205108250-2

  • Simultaneously process up to hundreds of samples, conditions, or timepoints for ultimate laboratory efficiency 
  • No specialized instruments required 
  • Multiplex samples seamlessly with ScalePlex technology 
  • Trust your results with highly sensitive detection chemistry 
  • Reduce batch effects with simplified sample processing 
  • Achieve cell recovery rates of ≥ 65% 

Advantages of scaling while maintaining cost and gaining efficiency

Scale up while getting the most from your budget

Scale up while getting the most from your budget  

Capture more samples, timepoints, and conditions for making groundbreaking discoveries. Your budget goes much further with Scale Bio. *Cost includes library prep and sequencing (NovaSeqX 25B flowcell), 5-7k cells per sample.

Scale Bio-generated single cell libraries have similar hands-on time as droplet-based technologies that require specialized instrumentation (n=125,000 cells), and less hands-on time than combinatorial indexing methods.

Confidently scale sample numbers with minimal impact on library construction time. *Time includes library prep and sample fixation for 1,000 cells per sample. Droplet technology assumes running 8 channels per chip, and hashing assumes 8 samples per channel. Probe-based droplet technology assumes a 16-plex sample pool per channel.
