Charting the Path to Discovery: BD and NovogeneAIT Partners to Advance Single Cell Multi-Omics
This partnership aims to revolutionize single-cell multi-omics research, combining BD’s Rhapsody™ Single Cell Analysis Solutions with NovogeneAIT Genomics' expertise in high-throughput Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). BD’s Rhapsody™ Single Cell Analysis Solutions enables the concurrent analysis of transcriptomics and proteomics or epigenomics signatures from single cells, addressing critical challenges faced by current commercial technologies. Through this partnership, the parties aim to provide researchers access to innovative tools necessary for generating new biological insights into complex diseases such as cancer and supporting the discovery of novel biomarkers and therapeutic pathways.
“This partnership represents a significant step forward in our commitment to advancing life sciences research in Singapore while addressing significant gaps in single cell research, such as accurate recapitulation of fragile cells like neutrophils”, said Annie Chan, Vice President of BD Biosciences, Central and South Asia and Japan. “Together with NovogeneAIT Genomics, we are dedicated to providing researchers with state-of-the-art tools and support necessary to advancing the world of health.”
“A significant challenge in the field is the ability to simultaneously analyze multiple data layers from a single cell. We are thrilled to enter this partnership, combining the capabilities of the BD Rhapsody platform with our advanced sequencing and bioinformatics services to push the boundaries of single-cell research.”, said Justin Lee, CEO of NovogeneAIT Genomics Singapore.
Through this partnership, BD and NovogeneAIT Genomics envision expanding the accessibility and adoption of single cell multi-omics, fostering a vibrant research ecosystem in Singapore and beyond.

About BD Rhapsody™ Scanner
The BD Rhapsody™ Scanner is designed to visualize all steps in the single-cell capture workflow and provide detailed analysis metrics at every step, enabling the user to make key decisions throughout the workflow. The scanner has been redesigned to be compatible for use with the BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System and BD Rhapsody™ 8-Lane Cartridge for higher-throughput applications, enabling a multisample workflow. It can also be used in combination with the BD Rhapsody™ Express System and BD Rhapsody™ Single-Lane Cartridge for lower-throughput needs. Visit bdbiosciences.com to learn more.
About BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System
The new BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System is a higher-throughput platform that leverages our proprietary, gentle, robust microwell-based single-cell partitioning technology to perform single cell analysis. The system is capable of single-cell capture and barcoding enabling capture of more than 320,000 cells per cartridge, making million-cell studies now possible. The BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System offers the same performance as the BD Rhapsody™ Express System, now featuring a new flexible cartridge design with the ability to run up to eight times the number of lanes at one time with a broad range of cell input, from 100–440,000 cells per cartridge.
