Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression for FFPE Tested Tissues

Tested Tissue List

List of tissue types that were tested by 10x and found to perform well with the Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression for FFPE assay. Tissues tested in-house were acquired from biobanks. Please note: sample preparation variability (such as fixation and embedding techniques) may impact assay performance.

Datasets from a subset of tested tissues are available here.
