Omics Research

Expanding Spatial with the NanoString CosMxTM SMI

Novel discoveries are just around the corner with CosMx high-plex RNA panels (1,000–6,000 targets). CosMx detects transcripts across a wide dynamic range, including low expressors. Confirm those transcript locations with CosMx protein panels.

Take advantage of  the Olink platform for matching tissue data with plasma/serum. 

What Can You Do?

Access High-Plex Panels for Discovery

With 1,000-plex and 6,000-plex RNA panels, CosMx is designed for making big discoveries. 

Map Cell Programs in Multiple Dimensions

Get to know your cells and their environment. With subcellular sensitivity and high-plex transcripts, CosMx delivers a map of all cells within the selected region.

Uncover Cell-to-Cell Interactions

Cell-to-cell communications are critical for understanding biological processes. Whether the goal is to delve into development, evaluate treatment impact in a PDX model, or monitor disease progression, the CosMx platform delivers.

Robust results from FFPE & fresh tissue

Work with panels designed by NanoString Technologies for meaningful, customizable insights.

Expression profiling at subcellular resolution. Designed for cell typing and cell-cell interaction analysis in a wide range of human tissues. 

Customize with up to 50 targets.

Expression profiling at subcellular resolution focused on immune infiltration of the tumor microenvironment. 

Customize with up to 10 targets.

Designed for high-plex analysis of up to 68 proteins from a single FFPE slide with spatial context at single-cell resolution. CosMx protein assays are already optimized for multiplexed performance and expand your reach beyond IHC/IF. 

Expression profiling at subcellular resolution for mouse neuronal tissues. Designed for cell typing and cell-cell interaction analysis.

Customize with up to 50 targets.

High-plex analysis of up to 68 proteins from a single FFPE slide at subcellular resolution. Optimized for multiplexing to identify key post-translationally modified proteins as well as neuronal cell typing.

Includes 1,000 targets covering cell types, cell states, and cell signaling across a variety of tissue types. Ten negative control targets are also included for analysis of results. The panel is configured as a 950 target core plus controls, and a 50 target add-on that could be replaced with a custom add-on.
