Our platforms are strategically supported by BBSRC, part of UKRI, through the Transformative Genomics NBRI.
From isolation through to analysis
We can support all stages of a single- or multi-cell analysis, from cell isolation, to library preparation, sequencing and analysis.
If you are starting with tissue, sorted cells or even pre-made libraries, we have the platforms and expertise to support your project.
Working with us
Whether you are looking for collaboration, contract research or training, our expert team provides access to cutting-edge cell sorting and single-cell genomics infrastructure and expertise.



Our platforms for single-cell isolation
Housed in Biosafety Level 2 Labs, EI has a number of platforms for single-cell isolation for sequencing.
Our single-cell sequencing workflows
After cell isolation, we have a number of workflows to generate, sequence and analyse single-cell libraries.

Single-cell library preparation
Our Technical Genomics team offer a complete workflow for Smart-seq2 single-cell RNA-seq analysis, from provision of cell lysis plates through to library preparation, sequencing and preliminary data analysis.
For more bespoke single-cell projects, our single-cell team can assist with cell sorting, 10X Genomics applications and other methods, including single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing on a wide variety of organisms.

Single-cell sequencing
Single-cell sequencing.
Single-cell libraries are sequenced on our Technical Genomics team’s illumina NovaSeq, ideal for cost-effective sequencing of single-cell libraries at any scale.

Single-cell data analysis
Single-cell data analysis
EI’s extensive computational infrastructure can support standard analysis of Smart-seq2 or 10X Genomics datasets, data QC, mapping and quantification.
Our in-house expertise can also support more advanced analysis.
