MERSCOPE FFPE Sample Prep Solution

Unlock High-Quality FFPE Spatial Genomic Analysis

Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue preservation is a commonly used tissue storage practice and represents a large portion of cancer tissue samples due to its ability to stabilize proteins, nucleic acids, and overall tissue structure. Vizgen’s MERSCOPE FFPE Solution is the first to bring high multiplexing, high resolution single-cell and spatial genomics analysis to FFPE samples.
