Frequently asked questions

The majority of RNA species are detectable since this is a probe-based assay and does not use 3’ poly(A) capture. In the future, Xenium will have the capacity to analyze thousands of targets.

Several panel options are available to help you target genes of interest. Our Pre-designed Panels, which can be customized with up to 100 genes using a Custom Add-on Panel, are available for several human and mouse tissues. You also have the option to request a Standalone Custom Panel of up to 300 genes for mammalian or most other species with well-annotated transcriptomes.

Both the add-on and standalone custom panels can include advanced custom designs for targeting isoforms, gene fusions, viral or bacterial sequences, protein tags, fluorescent reporters, and transgenes. To learn more about the custom panels for species currently not offered by 10x Genomics and advanced customization options, please refer to the following Tech Note.

Xenium panels consist of a unified assay compatible with both fresh frozen and FFPE tissue. Furthermore, the gentle chemistry utilized allows for tissues to be processed for H&E or IF staining post-Xenium processing.

Xenium is a non-destructive analysis and the same tissue sections analyzed with Xenium can be transferred off-instrument and stained for H&E or IF imaging.

The Xenium assay can take as few as 2 days with 4–6hrs of hands on time before loading on the Xenium Analyzer.

Yes, you can add up to 100 custom targets to each off-the-shelf panel. Standalone custom panels of up to 480 genes can also be designed for mammalian and most other species with well-annotated genomes.

Additionally, advanced customization probes designed for special applications (e.g. isoforms, gene fusions, viral or bacterial sequences, protein tags, fluorescent reporters, and transgenes) can be requested for both Add-on Custom and Standalone Custom Panels.
