MERSCOPE® Gene Panels: The Perfect Solution for Fast, Flexible, and Powerful Spatial Biology
MERSCOPE® Gene Panels
Unlock the full potential of spatial transcriptomics with MERSCOPE® Gene Panels. Whether you’re looking for a quick start with pre-designed panels or need fully customizable options, Vizgen has you covered.
Our spatial transcriptomics platform offers two types of gene panels:
Pre-designed Panels
MERSCOPE Pre-designed Panels are expertly curated by Vizgen scientists, using peer-reviewed literature and trusted databases such as OncoKBTM, Hallmarks of Cancer, and the Mouse Brain Atlas. These panels provide a cost-effective and scientifically robust way to start your MERFISH spatial experiments quickly.
Scientifically Robust Gene Lists
Each pre-designed panel features carefully curated genes, designed to help researchers investigate key biological processes like cell typing, cancer pathways, and immune responses.
Fast and Flexible
Available off-the-shelf with faster lead times, pre-designed panels allow you to accelerate your spatial research without the lengthy process of designing custom gene sets.
Cost-effective
Reduce startup costs by choosing predesigned panels that offer lower price per gene compared to custom-built panels.
Application Specific
Our pre-designed panels provide high-quality and meaningful MERFISH spatial transcriptomics data for application specific research.
Panel Performance
All pre-designed panels have been validated by Vizgen scientists, ensuring high-quality and meaningful spatial transcriptomics data for your application-specific research. These panels are compatible with a variety of sample types including fresh frozen, fixed frozen, cell culture, and FFPE tissues.
Available Panels
MERSCOPE PanNeuro Cell Type Panel
MERSCOPE PanCancer Pathways Panel
MERSCOPE Immuno-Oncology Panel
MERSCOPE PanNeuro Cell Type Panel 500 Gene (Mouse)
Identify and subtype neurons across the mouse brain, and probe neuronal signaling, activity, and interactions at cellular and sub-cellular levels. The panel helps distinguish the molecular and cellular heterogeneity of the mouse brain, making it ideal for studies on major cell types like excitatory and inhibitory neurons, glial cells, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and vascular cells. Applicable across all mouse brain regions.
MERSCOPE PanCancer Pathways Panel 500 Gene (Human)
Illuminate the tumor microenvironment and understand oncological heterogeneity.
Understand oncological heterogeneity, characterize tumor behavior, and explore canonical signaling pathways of cancer across human tissue samples. This panel allows researchers to investigate interactions between tumor, immune, and stromal cells, providing a comprehensive look at the tumor microenvironment. Compatible across a variety of human cancers.
MERSCOPE Immuno-Oncology Panel 500 Gene (Human)
Target the immune response to cancer tissue.
Designed to investigate the immune response to cancer, characterize the immune-cancer interplay and explore cytokine signaling, this panel identifies major immune cell types, subtypes, and immune checkpoint molecules. It is ideal for studying cancers such as breast, lung, liver, prostate, colon, melanoma, ovarian, brain, and uterine.
Custom Panels
If your research requires more flexibility, MERSCOPE Custom Panels offer you the ability to build a panel with up to 1000 genes specifically chosen for your study. With the Vizgen® Gene Panel Design Portal, you can easily create custom gene sets that fit your research needs, whether you’re working with complex organisms, tissue types, or preservation methods.
Tailored for Your Research
Fully customizable, allowing you to select exactly the genes you need—up to 1000 genes—giving you unparalleled control over your spatial transcriptomics experiments.
High-quality Spatial Data
Custom panels provide the same accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity as our pre-designed panels, ensuring you get the most reliable spatial data possible.
Cost-effective Scaling
As your research grows, you can expand the number of genes while maintaining competitive pricing per gene, making it an excellent option for large-scale projects.
Broad Sample Compatibility
Custom panels are compatible with a wide range of sample types, including fresh frozen, fixed frozen, FFPE, and cell cultures, allowing for maximum flexibility.
Which Panel Is Right for You?
- Choose Pre-designed Panels if you want a quick, ready-to-use solution backed by scientific validation and trusted gene lists. Perfect for labs needing to jump-start spatial transcriptomics research on well-established pathways in neuroscience, cancer, or immuno-oncology.
- Choose Custom Panels if your research requires specific genes not covered by pre-designed options. Ideal for labs with unique research goals, offering maximum flexibility and customizability.
