Quintara offers highly customizable single-cell sequencing powered by 10x Genomics’ latest Chromium X platform. Whether you choose our full end-to-end service — from QC checks and GEM generation, to library preparation, sequencing, and Cell Ranger analysis — or plug in at any step of your workflow, we deliver a smooth, guided experience. Benefit from free consultations with NGS scientists, convenient door-to-door sample logistics, rigorous quality control, flexible sequencing plans, and actionable QC reports, all designed to help you move from raw data to biological insights faster.
Getting started with single cell sequencing:
| Full-service | Flexible | Sequencing only | ||
| Sample QC, GEM generation, library preparation, sequencing, and preliminary analysis (Cell Ranger). • Multiple QC checkpoints shared throughout the process • Designed for fast turnaround and minimal customer workload | Self-selected Options: Enter the pipeline at the step you prefer—do partial processing or library prep on your side. • We accept samples throughout the single-cell pipeline • Great if you already have in-house capabilities | Send prepared single-cell libraries for QC and/or deeper sequencing with flexible NGS options. • Library QC options available • Deep sequencing supported |
We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end 10x Genomics workflow, seamlessly integrating consultation, sample QC, GEM generation, library preparation, and sequencing & Cell Ranger analysis, supported by rigorous QC checkpoints and NGS scientist guidance.

Advantages | • Whole transcriptome gene expression profiling • Analysis of archived and lower-quality samples • Batch processing and high-throughput sample workflows • Cross-species and custom probe set analysis • Long-term storage possible (up to 1 year) | • 3' gene expression profiling • With or without multi-omics (ATAC) readouts • With or without protein expression • Lower input cell requirements vs Flex | • 5' gene expression profiling • TCR/BCR immune profiling • Cell surface protein expression • CRISPR screening, antigen specificity • Protein readouts |
• Send 100k–150k cells/sample when possible
• Target >90% viability (minimum 80%)
• Extra material helps if re-load is needed due to clog/malfunction
• Recommend ≥25 mg tissue for Flex workflows or snRNA-seq
• Nuclei isolation supported (in-house or Chromium Nuclei Isolation kit)
• Ask us for guidance based on tissue type
• Preparation guidance provided during consultation
• Workflow depends on sample type and multiplexing strategy
• Best fit for Flex v2
• Flexible batching
