State of the art spatial biology is available with the Akoya Biosciences CODEX system. CODEX provides full spatial context and quantitative measurement of 40+ analytes from a single tissue slide. Single cell resolution is easily achieved. Application to clinical or discovery science is practical with validated performance on fresh frozen or FFPE tissue. Antibodies are available for mouse or human tissues. Furthermore, the assays are non-destructive, so tissue can be used for other downstream analysis or staining. More information is available at the Akoya Biosciences website.
Raw CODEX images are processed and normalized in bulk. This includes drift compensation, background subtraction, and deconvolution. Cells are segmented based on either DAPI staining or membrane marker staining, and each of the analytes is quantified. A spatially annotated cell-by-analyte csv file will be returned. Processed image files are also returned for downstream analysis with any image software.
Revolutionary spatial biology awaits you with the NanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler. Given fresh frozen or FFPE tissue, the unique technology of GeoMx allows simultaneous, quantitative measurement of RNA and protein targets. The morphological context of the tissue can be resolved with customizable histology. Unlike CODEX, the GeoMx assay is conducted by region of interest (ROI). There are several strategies for choosing the ROIs to maximize return on the experiment design. Choose between curated panels of molecular targets or customize your own. Instructions for panel selection are available here. These data can also be integrated with Illumina high-throughput sequencing.
Raw morphology-stained images and demultiplexed probe count data will be made available. Corresponding spatial annotations will also be formatted. We will perform data quality control. The standard analysis workflow includes area scaling and control probe normalization. With the versatility of the GeoMx system, further downstream analysis will depend on ROI selection and experiment design.
