Parse Biosciences Launches Evercode Whole Blood Fixation4.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
New fixation method streamlines blood sample handling for translational research Parse Biosciences, a leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced the launch of Evercode™ Whole Blood Fixation, a new kit that enables immediate fixation of whole blood directly at the point of collection. The technology eliminates the need for on-site PBMC isolation, specialized equipment, or trained personnel, allowing translational hematology and pharmaceutical research teams to seamlessly collect blood samples in real-world clinical settings for downstream single cell analysis. Traditional single cell RNA profiling workflows done in a translational setting require a compromise between processing fresh samples, which degrade rapidly and demand skilled handling, and using fixation approaches that capture only a partial transcriptome and cannot provide paired TCR sequences. Fresh PBMC isolation also requires complex workflows and specialized reagents. Everc
