Predesigned Panels for the MERSCOPE® Platform
Why use predesigned panels?
Spatial transcriptomics provides powerful insights into complex biology but can require high costs in time and resources to build comprehensive gene panels of interest. MERSCOPE Predesigned Panels provide curated lists of biologically relevant genes to enable cell typing and investigation of cellular functional states. Our application specific panels significantly decrease startup time and offer a cost-effective option for starting your MERFISH journey with the MERSCOPE® Platform.
Scientifically Robust Gene Lists
Predesigned panels are expertly constructed by Vizgen using peer-reviewed literature and recognized databases such as OncoKBTM, Hallmarks of Cancer, and the Mouse Brain Atlas.
Flexible Ordering
Get started with MERFISH spatial experiments faster with completely off the shelf and cost effective panels available in multiple package sizes with faster lead times.
MERFISH Quality
Leverage high-quality MERFISH chemistry in Predesigned MERSCOPE gene panels.
Application Specific
Panel performance validated by Vizgen scientists to provide high-quality and meaningful MERFISH spatial transcriptomics data for application specific research.
