Spatial

Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene and Protein Expression for FFPE

Harness whole transcriptome discovery while defining the relationship between cellular function and location.

  • Discover your tissue with unbiased whole transcriptome analysis at high spatial resolution across whole tissue sections
  • Integrate spatial gene expression seamlessly with standard histology workflows for H&E and immunofluorescence (IF) staining
  • Start from FFPE blocks or pre-sectioned H&E- or IF-stained FFPE tissue sections on standard glass slides
  • Evaluate stained and imaged tissues to find the most biologically relevant sections and areas before continuing with the Visium workflow
