NanoString GeoMX Digital Spatial Profiler

The GeoMX Digital Spatial Profiler - Nanostring allows for whole tissue sections, FFPE or fresh frozen to be imaged and stained for RNA or protein. ROI mapping directs the results to your analyzer while showing where in your sample the data originated. This will allow researchers to select which tissue compartments or cell types to profile based on biology. Samples run will be undamaged and may be reused.

Expression levels can be counted using the nCounter Analysis System.

The GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) provides morphological context in spatial transcriptomics and spatial proteomics experiments from just one slide.
