MERSCOPE™ – A Complete Spatial Genomics Solution
Explore new dimensions with MERSCOPE™, the first high multiplexing, high resolution in situ platform to combine single-cell and spatial genomics analysis powered by MERFISH technology.
Explore new dimensions through spatial context
MERSCOPE uses MERFISH technology to directly map and quantify the spatial distribution of hundreds to tens of thousands of RNA species in individual cells, without the need for downstream sequencing.
Vizgen integrated MERFISH technology with high resolution imaging, fluidics, image processing, and automation to deliver a complete end-to-end spatial genomics solution. The MERSCOPE Platform comes with everything your lab needs to get running. Vizgen built its expertise into every component of the system so you can easily obtain and analyze high quality MERFISH measurements.

Applications
MERFISH is a game-changing technology in single-cell genomics and has broad applications in both fundamental biology and medicine, ranging from basic science, to drug discovery, to clinical pathology. Given its ability to quantify RNAs across a wide range of abundances while preserving native context, MERFISH enables many applications of in situ transcriptomic analyses of individual cells in culture or complex tissues.

"I'm excited to have a MERSCOPE system installed in our Center, where we will use it to explore the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease... I look forward to building on the proof-of-concept study, which identified where early changes in gene expression occur in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease."
