Tips &amp; Best Practices section includes additional guidance
## Emulsion-safe Plastics
- l Use validated emulsion-safe plastic consumables when handling GEMs as some plastics can destabilize GEMs.
- l Consult Chromium GEM-X Single Cell Gene Expression v3 &amp; Immune Profiling v4 - Protocol Planner (CG000748) for a detailed list of plastics and other consumables.
## Cell Concentration
- l The optimal input cell concentration depends upon the desired cell recovery target:
- l The presence of dead cells and debris in the suspension may reduce the recovery rate. Consult the following documents for more information on preparing cells:
- o 10x Genomics Single Cell Protocols Cell Preparation Handbook (Documents CG00053)
- o Best Practices to Minimize Chromium Next GEM Chip Clogs and Wetting Failure (Document CG000479)
| Optimal Input Cell Concentration | Cell Recovery Target |
|------------------------------------|------------------------|
| 700-1,200 cells/ μ l | 500-10,000 cells |
| 1,300-1,600 cells/ μ l | 10,000-20,000 cells |
| Multiplet Rate (%) | # of Cells Loaded | # of Cells Recovered |
|----------------------|---------------------|------------------------|
| ~0.20% | ~725 | ~500 |
| ~0.40% | ~1,450 | ~1,000 |

## General Reagent Handling
- l Fully thaw and thoroughly mix reagents before use.
- l Keep all enzymes and reagent mixes on ice during setup and use. Promptly move reagents back to the recommended storage.
- l Calculate reagent volumes with 10% excess of 1 reaction values.
- l Limit Partitioning Oil exposure to air to minimize evaporation.
- l If using multiple chips, use separate reagent reservoirs for each chip during loading.
- l Thoroughly mix samples with the beads during bead-based cleanup steps.
## 50% Glycerol Solution for Addition to Unused Chip Wells
- l Purchase 50% glycerol solution from Ricca Chemical Company, Glycerin (glycerol), 50% (v/v) Aqueous Solution, PN-3290-32.
OR
- l Prepare 50% glycerol solution:
- o Mix an equal volume of water and ≥99% Glycerol, Molecular Biology Grade.
- o Filter through a 0.2 μm filter.
