Solid Tissue Dissociation. Automated.


July 2021

GC biotech are pleased to announce the addition of the Singulator 100 from S2 Genomics to the product portfolio.

GC biotech is based in Waddinxveen in The Netherlands and are experts in laboratory automation with Life Sciences expertise.

S2 Genomics enables automated processing of raw tissues into single cells or nuclei for genomics and cell biology studies.

The S2 Singulator is an Automated Tissue Dissociation System, producing single cells or nuclei from solid tissues in minutes.

The bench-top System and its single-use cartridges enable reproducible, rapid and hands-off tissue dissociations into single-cell or nuclei suspensions.

Its ability to perform cold dissociation minimizes the expression of stress-related genes in cells and helps preserve RNA quality in nuclei.
Researchers can now easily obtain suspensions of nuclei or high-viability cells for a wide range of single-cell analyses.

“At Grenova, we see that high consumption of plastic consumables is an excessive, avoidable operational cost for laboratories and a significant contributor to environmental pollution. Therefore, our passionate and dedicated Grenova team embarked on a relentless mission to create devices that enable labs to recycle and wash consumables in large quantities. Our mission is to enable labs to grow toward sustainability while reducing operational costs associated with plastic consumables globally.

Sport brings us together

We at GC biotech believe sport is important. Besides the positive health effects, sport brings people together. Together we can achieve more! As a part of our social commitment we sponsored the soccer tournament of our colleague Siem Rijnberg.

The aim of this tournament was not only to have a lot of fun, but also to create awareness for the metabolic disorder INAD. INAD is characterized by abnormalities of nerve endings, resulting in loss of proper nerve function starting at a young age.
We are grateful for the opportunity to be a sponsor of this event!
