Overview The BD Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit utilizes an innovative antibodyoligo technology to provide higher sample throughput for BD Rhapsody assays. [See the Single Cell Targeted Library Preparation with BD Rhapsody User Guide (Doc ID: 47395).] Every antibody-oligo in the kit, referred to as Sample Tag, has a unique sample barcode conjugated to a human universal antibody. (See Figure 1.) Adjacent to the Sample Tag barcode are a universal PCR handle and poly(a) tail, which allow each Sample Tag to be captured by 3' single cell RNA-seq methods and amplified by PCR. A kit of 12 Sample Tags and two Sample Tag-specific primers is provided, along with additional library preparation materials for Sample Tag library generation. The labelling of Sample Tags utilizes a simple antibody staining procedure prior to pooling different samples into a BD Rhapsody Cartridge. By pooling multiple samples into the same BD Rhapsody workflow, the BD Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit enables you to: Increase sample throughput and reduce library preparation cost. Reduce sample-to-sample variability due to technical errors during library preparation. Detect intra-sample Tag multiplets. [See the BD Single Cell Genomics Bioinformatics Handbook (Doc ID: 54169).] Figure 1 Sample Tag design ensures compatibility with the BD Rhapsody assay. Doc ID: 54478 Rev. 1.0 3

Sample Tag library preparation workflow Sample Tags are captured with mrna content of single cells during the BD Rhapsody Cartridge workflow through the poly(a) tail, and a cdna copy is generated on the BD Rhapsody Cell Capture Bead after reverse transcription. (See Figure 2.) Sample Tags are first amplified together with the targeted panel in PCR1 and then amplified separately in subsequent PCRs (PCR2 and final amplification). As a result, two sequencing libraries are generated: a gene panel targeted library and a Sample Tag library. Since Sample Tag expression is higher than typical mrna expression, this parallel approach allows you to optimize the percentage of reads allocated to Sample Tags in a sequencing run. 1 12 samples per run Sample ing and pooling Time varies Single cell capture, reverse transcription, xonuclease I treatment on beads ~ 2 hr 45 min PCR1 ~ 120 min PCR2 targeted CR2 ~ 125 min Final amplification targeted library Final library ~ 60 min Library quantification and sequenc on compatible Illumina sequencers Time varies Figure 2 Workflow for generating parallel libraries with Sample Tags. 4 Doc ID: 54478 Rev. 1.0

BD single cell multiplexing workflow Preparing pooled single cell cdna Unless specified, perform the procedure in a pre-amplification workspace. Protect Calcein AM and Draq7 from light until ready to use. Some cell dissociation reagents, such as trypsin, may damage cell surface markers and decrease Sample Tag sensitivity. Use cell dissociation reagents suitable for cell surface staining. Cells may be lost during the wash steps (25 50%). For low-abundance samples (<100,000 cells), account for cell loss when preparing single cell samples. 1 Resuspend 12,000 2 x10 6 cells in 200 µl of BD Stain Buffer (FBS). 2 Briefly centrifuge the Sample Tag tubes to collect the contents at the bottom. 3 For each sample, transfer 180 µl of the cell suspension to a Sample Tag tube, and mix by pipette only. Caution. Aqueous buffered solution (Sample Tag) contains BSA and 0.1% sodium azide. Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. 4 Incubate the cell suspension at room temperature for 20 minutes. 5 Add 200 µl of BD Stain Buffer (FBS) to the cell suspension, and mix by pipette only. 6 Centrifuge the cells at 300 x g for 5 minutes. Doc ID: 54478 Rev. 1.0 11

7 Remove the supernatant without disturbing the pellet, and resuspend the pellet in 500 µl of BD Stain Buffer (FBS). For low-abundance samples, leave 50 µl of supernatant before resuspending the pellet in 500 µl of BD Stain Buffer (FBS). 8 Centrifuge the cells at 300 x g for 5 minutes. 9 Remove the supernatant without disturbing the pellet, and resuspend the cells in 500 µl of Sample Buffer from BD Rhapsody reagents. For low-abundance samples, leave 50 µl of supernatant. Resuspend the cells in Sample Buffer so that the total volume is 100 µl. 10 Add 2 mm Calcein AM and 0.3 mm Draq7 at 1:200 dilution each to the total volume of cell suspension. For example, pipette 2.5ul of each dye into 500 µl of cell suspension. 11 Incubate the cell suspension at 37 C protected from light for 5 minutes. 12 Filter the cell suspension through a Falcon Tube with Cell Strainer Cap (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 352235). Place the cell suspension on ice. 13 Prepare the BD Rhapsody Cartridge according to the Single Cell Targeted Library Preparation with BD Rhapsody User Guide (Doc ID: 47395). 14 Count each sample using the Hemocytometer Adapter in the BD Rhapsody Scanner according to the Single Cell Targeted Library Preparation with BD Rhapsody User Guide. 15 Pool cells according to the desired relative amounts of cells and the volumes calculated in the BD Rhapsody Scanner software. See the Single Cell Targeted Library Preparation with BD Rhapsody User Guide. Minimize the time between cell pooling and single cell capture. 16 Proceed with single cell capture through inactivation of Exonuclease I in the Single Cell Targeted Library Preparation with BD Rhapsody User Guide. 12 Doc ID: 54478 Rev. 1.0

Troubleshooting Cell preparation troubleshooting Observation Possible causes Recommended solutions No pellet after centrifuging cells or very few cells Do not have the recommended staining buffer Cells require staining at a different temperature Accidentally resuspended cells in BD Stain Buffer (FBS) rather than Sample Buffer before cell counts Rare or dilute sample Various Physiological requirement Various After each centrifugation step, leave 50 µl of supernatant. Stain samples in BD Stain Buffer (FBS) (PN 554656) or 1X PBS with 1% FBS or 0.1% BSA. Use cell surface staining protocols that have been optimized for the specific sample type. BD recommends centrifuging the samples and resuspending the cells in Sample Buffer after the staining step. This ensures optimal performance of cell loading in the BD Rhapsody Cartridge. The sample calculator on the BD Rhapsody Scanner displays a negative volume for Sample Buffer to be added Sample is too dilute Centrifuge the sample, resuspend it in a lower volume, and recount the cells before pooling. If the calculated volume is greater than the entered total volume, the calculated buffer volume is negative, or a warning displays, bring the total volume to 610 µl in cold Sample Buffer for cartridge cell loading. 24 Doc ID: 54478 Rev. 1.0

Library preparation troubleshooting Observation Possible causes Recommended solutions Yield of Sample Tag Library is too low (<1 ng/µl) Various Ensure that the cells were stained correctly during sample preparation. During library preparation, Sample Tag PCR1 and PCR2 Primers may have been swapped. Ensure that correct primers are used for each step. AMPure purification of <1X concentration leads to significant loss of Sample Tag products. Re-amplify and purify the product with 1X AMPure Beads. Low sequencing quality Insufficient PhiX Sequencing targeted library and Sample Tag library together: Use 20% PhiX and a loading concentration of 1.2 pm. Sequencing Sample Tag library alone: Use 50% PhiX and a loading concentration of 1.0 pm. Low sensitivity of Sample Tags (<95%) Insufficient sequencing of the Sample Tag library Pooled samples of the same cell type: 120 reads/cell. Pooled samples of different cell types: 600 reads/cell.
