10X Genomics - Visium Spatial Gene Expression Technology.
At the Genomics Research Center, we have utilized the Fresh Frozen Visium technology for many tissue types.
Pair histological spatial information with whole transcriptome data to better understand many research questions such as the spatial organization of cells and disease complexity. Visium Spatial Gene Expression technology is available with H&E for morphological context as well as with Immunofluorescence to co-detect proteins and gene expression from the same tissue section.
10X Genomics has announced the release of Visium FFPE that is compatible with FFPE tissues. Contact us for more information on this approach and how it compares to the Fresh Frozen Visium workflow.
Contact us to learn more about the technology and scheduling a consultation for a spatial gene expression study.
