Vizgen is developing the next generation of genomics tools to expand on the capabilities of spatially resolved transcriptomics. Our technology will aide the acceleration of biological research and discovery to advance human health. Access supporting resources by selecting the category below.
Overview: To generate the best data possible using our MERSCOPE Platform, researchers must ensure they are working with high-quality RNA samples. Unfortunately, RNA is easily degraded by RNases when samples are mishandled or treated in…
Abstract: Spatially resolved transcriptomic imaging technologies such as Vizgen’s MERSCOPE TM platform allows massively multiplexed single-cell measurement in situ and have been instrumental for molecular and cell atlasing. However, cell types and states are not only…
Abstract: Formalin fixed-paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue processing remains the most economical approach for archivable tissue specimen storage. Therefore, the ability to apply high throughput genomic applications to FFPE specimens can expand clinical assays and discovery. While…
Abstract: MERFISH technology is based on single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) and can measure both the copy number and spatial distribution of 100s to 1000s of RNAs simultaneously.1 However, the RNA in fresh…
This technical note describes a MERSCOPE sample preparation protocol for cultured cells without the gel embedding steps, which simplifies the standard workflow and shortens the protocol by one day without compromising data quality. Additional sample…
A New Spatial Transcriptomics Technique Accurately Reveals the Organization of The Mouse Brain Transcriptome This application note describes how the MERFISH Mouse Brain Receptor map was generated by MERSCOPE and demonstrates how the platform can…
