Change of heart: exploring transcriptional variation in cardiomyocytes
Only the ICELL8 system enabled us to address similarities and differences associated with the nuclearity of cells. Moreover, large cells such as cardiomyocytes are easily damaged during isolation, causing profound changes in the RNA content. The ICELL8 system allows rigorous quality control of analyzed cells, which is very helpful to avoid misinterpretation of sequencing data."

(Panel A) The default dispensing protocol results in a heterogeneous distribution of cardiomyocytes, due to their high sedimentation rate.
(Panel B) The modified dispensing protocol distributes cardiomyocytes evenly across the chip.
