The Single Cell Omics Platform (SCOP) is a state-of-the-art facility located at New Hunts House, King's College London, equipped with advanced instrumentation and staffed by a team of expert scientists. With years of experience in the field of single-cell omics, the SCOP team is committed to providing high-quality services tailored to meet the needs of the KCL research community.
We specialise in utilising 10x assays, including 3’RNA, Multiome ATAC, and 5’RNA V(D)J using the 10x Chromium iX platform.
As an integral part of King’s College London, SCOP is proudly supported by the Hayday Group, Taams Lab, Martinez-Nunez group, Inflammation Biology Group, Tree Group, and the School of Immunology & Microbial Science (SIMS) reinforcing our commitment to excellence in research and innovation
Single-Cell Sequencing
From library preparation to FASTQ file data delivery, we offer a comprehensive range of 10x single-cell assays using the Chromium iX instrument. Our services also include the Chromium GEM-X Single Cell 3' v4 and Chromium GEM-X Single Cell 5' v3 protocols, available as of 2024.
Consulting and Training
We offer consulting services for experimental design and assay selection. Our team provides personalised guidance to researchers at every stage of their single cell sequencing projects.
We also offer training workshops and seminars to empower researchers with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct single-cell omics research effectively.
Open access equipment
Our facility offers open access to state-of-the-art equipment for single-cell research. Induction and training provided. Please contact our facility regarding access, training and costing.
Collaboration
We are also keen on collaborating on projects aiming to test different pipelines. Get in touch with ‘out of catalogue’ requests.
