RACS-Seq is an innovative approach for single-cell analysis. It utilizes the ramanome technology platform to analyze cells at the single-cell level, providing valuable insights into their metabolic phenome and genome.
Key Features:
- Single-Cell Analysis: RACS-Seq integrates single-cell identification, viability assessment, and source tracking without the need for traditional culturing methods.
- Rapid Identification: The technology quickly identifies species by analyzing the Raman spectrum of individual cells.
- Viability Assessment: RACS-Seq evaluates cell viability and metabolic vitality, crucial for understanding cell behavior.
- Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: It performs culture-independent AST, determining the cell's susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.
- Source Tracking: RACS-Seq uses Raman-activated cell sorting to trace the cell's source.
- Automation and Speed: The workflow is automated, providing rapid results compared to conventional methods.
RACS-Seq offers rapid, accurate, and comprehensive single-cell analysis.
