GEM-X Flex Gene Expression

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

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.
