Parse Biosciences Announces FFPE-compatible Barcoding Technology for Whole Transcriptome Single Cell Analysis18.11.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
New method enables single cell discovery from archived tissue samples, expanding access to translational and clinical research Parse Biosciences, the leading provider of scalable and accessible single cell sequencing solutions, today announced a breakthrough technology that unlocks the full potential of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples.
