GEM-X Flex Gene Expression

Performance gains. Expanded scale. New prices you’ll love.

Jump to: Exceptional performance | More sample access | Low costs, high throughput

Introducing Flex, powered by GEM-X: Now shipping

Single cell analysis met new possibilities when Chromium Flex expanded access to fresh, frozen, and fixed samples—even FFPE. Now, this ultimate flexibility is getting incredible performance gains and cost savings 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, higher cell capture efficiency, 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.

2.56M cells per run and kits that let you profile 5M cells, all at less than $0.01 USD per cell?

GEM-X Flex Gene Expression makes it possible.

Unmatched GEM-X performance for Flex Gene Expression

• Generate whole transcriptome libraries with industry-leading sensitivity and specificity, optimized to detect low-expressed genes
• Make your sequencing budget go further with 95% usable reads for data analysis
• Be more successful with every run—even with challenging samples—with more robust workflows, higher cell recovery, and lower multiplet rates
• See highly reproducible results between runs, users, and experiments

Did you know? The benefits of GEM-X technology were first introduced for our Universal 3’ and 5’ Gene Expression kits. Dive into the details of GEM-X technology >

Scale to millions of cells for less than $0.01 per cell

• Conduct large-scale studies with a 2x increase in throughput, easily scalable to millions of cells and hundreds of samples
• Profile 25K cells per sample and 320K cells per channel with in-line multiplexing
• Run up to 2.56M cells per chip, with kit options for profiling 5M cells at less than $0.01 USD per cell
• Maximize discovery power for high-throughput screens, atlassing, multi-site translational studies, and large patient cohort studies
