<p>I recently performed single cell RNA seq using core services and the web summary output from 10x that they have given shows that there are very few cells detected (100-300) cells per sample.

Very odd, can you say something about the say something about the sample type?

I suggest runnnjng fastqc and maybe some Samtools modules then multiqc to aid diagnosis
