Get a firsthand look at the next leap forward in spatial
In science, seeing is believing, and there’s no substitute for seeing what you thought was impossible happen right before your eyes.
We invite you to join us on our Heidelberg stop of the 10x Genomics World Tour, where our R&D experts and senior leadership will answer your questions and showcase the next frontier of spatial: Atera. See for yourself how this revolutionary platform brings the impossible within reach thanks to:
We’ll also be featuring groundbreaking customer presentations demonstrating how our powerful Xenium spatial platform is already driving high-resolution biological discovery today.
Space is limited: make sure you save your seat to witness the future of spatial biology.
Every attendee will have a chance to witness the Atera instrument live and win the “Impossible” T-Shirt!
