Space Ranger

Visium

Gene Expression

Protein co-detection

Visium Spatial Gene Expression is a next-generation molecular profiling solution for classifying tissue based on total mRNA. Map the whole transcriptome with morphological context in FFPE or fresh frozen tissues to discover novel insights into normal development, disease pathology, and clinical translational research.

Immunofluorescence protein co-detection

Visium CytAssist Gene and Protein Expression

Map the whole transcriptome within the <em>tissue context</em>

Visium CytAssist

Compact instrument designed to simplify the Visium workflow by facilitating the transfer of analytes from standard glass slides to Visium slides.

Spatial Gene Expression

Spatial gene expression profiling and imaging data of fresh frozen or FFPE tissues.

Analyze your Visium Spatial data with microscope images.
