Abstract
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) approaches have transformed our ability to resolve cellular properties across systems, but are currently tailored toward large cell inputs (>1,000 cells). This renders them inefficient and costly when processing small, individual tissue samples, a problem that tends to be resolved by loading bulk samples, yielding confounded mosaic cell population read-outs. Here, we developed a deterministic, mRNA-capture bead and cell co-encapsulation dropleting system, DisCo, aimed at processing low-input samples (<500 cells). We demonstrate that DisCo enables precise particle and cell positioning and droplet sorting control through combined machine-vision and multilayer microfluidics, enabling continuous processing of low-input single-cell suspensions at high capture efficiency (>70%) and at speeds up to 350 cells per hour. To underscore DisCo’s unique capabilities, we analyzed 31 individual intestinal organoids at varying developmental stages. This revealed extensive organoid heterogeneity, identifying distinct subtypes including a regenerative fetal-like Ly6a+ stem cell population that persists as symmetrical cysts, or spheroids, even under differentiation conditions, and an uncharacterized ‘gobloid’ subtype consisting predominantly of precursor and mature (Muc2+) goblet cells. To complement this dataset and to demonstrate DisCo’s capacity to process low-input, in vivo-derived tissues, we also analyzed individual mouse intestinal crypts. This revealed the existence of crypts with a compositional similarity to spheroids, which consisted predominantly of regenerative stem cells, suggesting the existence of regenerating crypts in the homeostatic intestine. These findings demonstrate the unique power of DisCo in providing high-resolution snapshots of cellular heterogeneity in small, individual tissues.

Extended data
Extended Data Fig. 1 DisCo device features and their performance.
(a) Schematic of the DisCo device design (blue: flow layer, green: control layer). 1. oil valve, 2. oil inlet, 3. cell inlet, 4. bead inlet, 5. cell valve, 6. dropleting valve, 7. bead valve, 8. sample valve, 9. waste valve, 10. sample outlet, 11. waste outlet. (b) Visualization of real-time image processing for particle detection. (c) Particle positioning by valve oscillation. Approaching particles are detected in the detection zone. Once a particle is detected, the channel valve is oscillated to induce discrete movements of particles. Oscillation is terminated once correct placement of a particle is achieved. (d) Stopping accuracy in a defined window. Beads (n = 744) were positioned using valve oscillation, their position was manually determined within the stopping area. Scale was approximated from channel width. (e) Volume-defined droplet on-demand generation by valve pressurization. Droplets (n = 68, ~8 per condition, 1 experiment) were produced by pressurizing the dropleting valve at different pressures. Size was determined by imaging the dropleting process. Volumes were calculated from the imaging data based on droplet length and channel geometry. Thus, they should be considered an approximation. Points represent mean values, error bars +/-SD. The channel width of displayed images is 250 μm.

(c) Species purity (bars) and doublet ratio (dots) for unmerged (n = 949) and merged barcodes (n = 274). Data represent mean values, error bars standard deviation. (d-e) HEK 293T cells were processed with DisCo at 22 °C after 20, 40 or 60 min or stored on ice for 120 or 180 min and subsequently processed.

(f) Correlation of the number of manually counted cells by fluorescence microscopy and the number of cells quantified by the DISPENCELL platform. (g) A quantified number of HEK 293T cells was processed with the Fluidigm C1 system. Processing efficiency was calculated as the percentage of cells retrieved from the sequencing data respective to the quantified number of input cells. The red line represents 100% efficiency, and samples were colored according to the recovery efficiency after sequencing.

(c) UMAP embedding colored by the number of detected genes (nFeature) per cell, the number of detected UMIs (nCount) per cell, the percentage of mitochondrial (mt) reads per cell, and the percentage of reads mapping to genes coding for respectively heat-shock proteins (Hsp), and ribosomal proteins (Rpl) per cell.
