In today’s episode, the final episode of The Single-Cell World, Cátia makes a surprising confession. Before speaking with today’s guest, she always assumed that the plastic consumables in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics kits were made by the same companies that developed and commercialized the technology.

But, as it turns out, that’s not the case. In fact, many of these critical consumables are produced by specialized manufacturers—like Edge Precision Manufacturing.

To know more about how these essential components are designed and created, Cátia talks with Andrew Kamholz, the CEO of Edge Precision Manufacturing. Together, they explore the fascinating world of plastic consumable manufacturing and the crucial role these specialized companies play in advancing the technology used in cutting-edge research.

In this podcast episode, I talk with Francesca Giannese about an exciting new method for studying chromatin at the single-cell level called scGET-seq. Unlike previous methods such as scATAC-seq, which only allow us to study open chromatin, scGET-seq provides insights into both open and closed chromatin. This breakthrough can lead to a deeper understanding of how chromatin structure impacts gene regulation in individual cells. Tune in to learn more about how scGET-seq works and its potential applications in research.
