Individual cells are co-encapsulated with a DNA-barcoded microparticle (\"bead\") in a nanoliter (~1 nL, 125 \u00b5m) aqueous droplet formed by a co-flow microfluidic device; the cell lyses inside the droplet and its polyadenylated mRNAs hybridize to the bead's oligo-dT primers. Each bead carries a common SMART/PCR handle, a 12-bp split-pool cell barcode (one of 4^12 = 16,777,216), an 8-bp UMI, and a 30-bp oligo-dT. After bulk reverse transcription with template switching (STAMP formation), exonuclease treatment, whole-transcriptome PCR, and Nextera XT tagmentation of the 3\u2032 ends, the library is sequenced on Illumina: Read 1 (20 bp) yields the cell barcode + UMI, and Read 2 the cDNA.",
