The Nanostring GeoMX Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) and nCounter instruments are available through the Molecular Pathology Core. The GeoMX provides digital spatial profiling for proteins or mRNA for human and mouse samples. More information about GeoMX DSP can be found at their website.
Cell types of interest can be identified on the tissue section to guide selection of regions of interest. Excellent information about morphology markers validated by Nanostring for human and mouse fixed and frozen sections can be found on their website.
Please contact Dr. Fu early in project planning. Dr. Ann Fu provides consultation services and all technical support including validation of morphology markers in your species and tissue followed by operating the instruments for the assay. Sections cut within 2 weeks are optimal for the whole transcriptome assay so planning is needed to coordinate services.
