Spatial
At CTG, we offer both sequencing-based and imaging-based spatial applications. These technologies provide comprehensive and high-resolution insights into tissue architecture, gene and protein expression. We offer 10x Genomics Visium v2, Visium HD on the CytAssist, and Xenium (coming Q3 2025, book consultations now!). Our workflows are compatible with FFPE tissue sections and can integrate high-resolution images of H&E or immunofluorescence staining.
All services are available through iLab (see “How to start a project”).
The success of Visium and Xenium projects depends on factors such as tissue type, species, embedding date, fixation method, and RNA quality. Proper tissue handling and fixation are critical to preserving transcript integrity. Before starting a project, users should carefully evaluate tissue preparation methods that align with their research goals and platform requirements.
Users are responsible for ensuring that sample quality, including RNA integrity and tissue preservation, meets the required standards before submission.
Visium & Visium HD
Probe-based whole transcriptome profiling for FFPE tissue on the CytAssist, with optional protein co-detection.
Xenium
High-resolution in situ sequencing at the subcellular level, supporting up to 5,000 targets and customizable panel design.
