The STU is thrilled to host the very first MERSCOPE to leave the Vizgen factory. It offers sub-cellular resolution and high plexity (up to 500 targets) for large areas (~1cm2), corresponding to hundreds of thousands of cells. The high resolution renders it optimal for CNS tissue evaluation, massively multiplexed, error-robust, single-cell in situ transcriptomic imaging.
- Quantify and localize RNAs in any tissue sample easily, efficiently, and accurately
- Detect low expressing genes that can be missed using other technologies.
- Localize RNA transcripts at a subcellular level with ≤100 nm resolution.
- High multiplexing with custom gene panel design. Current chemistry up to 500 genes.
- Measure your specified genes on many sample or tissue types.

The current services include:
- Tissue preparation (frozen or high quality FFPE) and testing for use in the MERSCOPE
- Application of an existing probe set or custom probe set design (up to 500 genes targeted). Pricing is affected by the number of probes with currently 3 tiers supported: up to 140 targets, up to 300 targets, and up to 500 targets.
- Consultation to identify optimal targets for a custom probe set using single cell and spatial data for the tissue/pathology of interest.
- Full service including tissue pre-processing, probe design (optional), capture, scanning, and data analysis (optional)
- Downstream data analyses are also supported (optional)
