Asteria™
Benchtop 3’ scRNA-seq
Sample Preparation Kit
Cell wellness by design with our high-performance hydrogel-based technology
Fresh transcriptome
Protect the original transcriptome by always processing fresh cells, removing the need for fixation, vortexing or freezing steps
Benchtop-based
Process cells as you go, instrument-free, and use only what you need! Convenient for work with Infectious samples
Simple Protocol
Perform stress-free, training-free and risk-free sample preparation
Complete autonomy
Obtain your amplified cDNA rapidly in 14 hours, with only 7 hours of hands-on time for multiple samples
Flexible stopping points
Control your schedule by stabilizing your samples early and resuming your protocol on another day and/or another location
Safe for fragile cells
Cushion your cells in a hydrogel and avoid stressful mechanics – preserve your cell populations!

Offering you the ultimate authentic transcriptome
We remove the historical contradiction between kit-based flexibility and the need to fix, vortex or freeze cells, all of which can have dramatic consequences damaging your transcriptomic data, altering gene expression, or even removing entire cell populations.
Our hydrogel-based technology RevGel protects your cells, enabling access to a transcriptome representative of the biological conditions.
A simple workflow
Once your single-cell suspension is ready, transfer it into the tube with barcoded beads

Prepare your libraries and sequence your single-cell data at your sequencing facility
An easy workflow for high performance
Decipher the heterogeneity of your cell populations confidently with Asteria’s ~45% capture rate (on a benchmark mix of HEK293/NIH3T3), with over 12K transcripts and over 5K genes per human cell.
Asteria has proven powerful across many sample types. Check out some single-cell projects below!
Seamless collaboration with your core platform
Thanks to Asteria’s flexible workflow, the sample can be handed over to the core platform for sequencing at different timepoints. Hand over the lysed cells in the hydrogel, or perform the molecular biology steps yourself to generate and amplify the cDNA!
