ABOUT THIS SEMINAR

For over a decade, MERFISH has been a trusted foundation of spatial transcriptomics, transforming how researchers visualize the molecular architecture of cells. Now, MERFISH 2.0 propels this innovation forward with optimized chemistry that delivers deeper insights into tissue biology. By detecting more transcripts with unparalleled sensitivity & specificity MERFISH 2.0 reveals cellular heterogeneity in extraordinary detail, enabling you to map the spatial organization of cell types, and uncover complex patterns of tissue states. 

One of the early adopters of Vizgen's MERFISH technology, the Umass SCOPE has operated a Vizgen Alpha MERFISH microscope since March 2021, followed by a MERSCOPE Platform in 2022. The MERSCOPE Ultra joined the Merfish fleet in 2024 at the SCOPE, where they proudly have all 3 generations of Vizgen instruments together. 

MERFISH 2.0 is a full service through the SCOPE as a Certified Service Provider with our trained staff handling all aspects of sample preparation, imaging and data processing.
