Spatial proteomics

BostonGene’s end-to-end multiplex immunofluorescence (MxIF) pipeline offers a comprehensive overview of tissue architecture and cell-cell interactions by detecting up to 60 protein markers from a single slide.

Our pipeline efficiently manages spatial transcriptomics data from advanced platforms, including CosMx SMI, Xenium, StereoSeq, Visium, BMK S1000, DBiT-seq, and GeoMx for precise tissue analysis and characterization.
