Rethink what you know about Chromium

Your success matters to us. That’s why, for 10 years, we’ve continually innovated every element of the Chromium platform—from optimized sample prep to high-quality library generation and intuitive analysis that requires very little expertise, with fast instrument-supported workflows delivering exceptional reproducibility and reduced handling errors.

Each new innovation is carefully designed to bring high-quality single cell data you can trust to more sample types, analytes, and applications. Our powerful software tools are getting upgrades, too, making analysis easier and faster than ever before, like new Automated Cell Annotation¹ that allows you to move quickly and confidently from samples to meaningful insights.

Plus, you can single cell with confidence at every step of your experiment with access to our single cell support experts and comprehensive resources and training. That’s why, across the globe, over 10,000 labs—including 1,000+ Certified Service Providers and cores—have already put their trust in the superior performance of the Chromium advantage.

As we build on that trust, we are also taking strides to make these benefits accessible to more researchers with lower price points and improved economies of scale, while maintaining our commitment to streamlining your workflow and providing exceptional performance for studies of any size.

And now, we’re excited to introduce new ways we are continuing to drive your single cell costs down:

GEM-X Flex Gene Expression: Ramp up your studies with unprecedented scale at less than $0.01 per cell

Our groundbreaking Chromium Flex assay that expanded access to fresh, frozen, and fixed samples—including FFPE—is going even further with GEM-X technology. Continue to enjoy highly sensitive probe-based profiling of even the most challenging samples, as well as the ability to fix, batch, and run samples on your schedule. With GEM-X enhancements you get the added benefits of lower sample input recommendations (25K cells), higher sample prep recovery (up to 80%), and double the throughput at a fraction of the cost. Conduct your large-scale studies with higher confidence and a lower spend, from biomarker discovery to perturbation screens to translational studies and more. Click here to learn more >

GEM-X Universal 3’ and 5’ Gene Expression Multiplex: Introducing easy multiplexing and low per-sample costs

New on-chip multiplexing for our GEM-X Universal 3’ and 5’ Gene Expression assays brings accurate, reliable performance together with a simple, cost-effective workflow. Analyze diverse species and sample types incompatible with other multiplexing methods, conduct more statistically powerful studies by enabling biological or technical replicates, and ease technical restrictions with lower cell inputs for limited samples. Take advantage of up to 70% cell capture rates, higher sensitivity, and easy multiplexing (no extra steps required!) at less than $565 USD per sample. Click here to learn more >

Chromium Xo: A new low-cost instrument to bring the Chromium advantage to your bench

Push-button automation that reduces your hands-on times and minimizes handling errors compared to instrument-less methods. Consistent, reproducible performance across experiments and users with our flagship GEM-X Universal 3' Gene Expression assay. More cost-effective options, even at small scales, with new, easy on-chip multiplexing. These are just a few of the advantages instrument-supported Chromium workflows can bring to your bench. And now, these can be yours with our new low-cost Chromium Xo instrument! Click here to learn more >
