SpatialPlex™
SpatialPlex™ - Next Generation Tools with High Plex Spatial Resolution
Analyzing cells at the molecular level while maintaining the spatial context is key to navigating the complexity of biological systems and understanding human disease. A thorough understanding of where genes are expressed, and their surrounding environment (‘microenvironment’) has the promise to guide the development of novel treatments.
SpatialPlex services are focused on spatial genomics and transcriptomics, utilized for ADME studies, Phase I/II trials, and Companion Diagnostic development
SpatialPlex services can precisely characterize constituent tumor cell populations, infiltrating lymphocytes and stromal elements while preserving spatial positioning within tissue architecture.
SpatialPlex utilizes highly multiplexed profiling of protein and RNA in tissue using GeoMx® from Nanostring, and interrogation of rare or single cells with RNAscope®ISH, from ACD Bio. We continue to build out our spatial genomics offerings with new services.
SpatialPlex Services can:
- Aid target discovery
- Quantify RNA and protein expression within context of the tissue
- Reserve precious tissue for use in other assays
- Generate, integrate and interpret high-dimensional data from preclinical models or patient samples
- Detect protein and RNA targets within a dynamic range significantly greater than traditional IHC
- Explore banked samples with multiplexing platforms to retrospectively analyze clinical studies
Our spatial biology experts are focused upon your success and can aid in designing experiments, selecting tissue and ROIs of interest, and interpreting results

Reach the Next Frontier of Clinical Oncology Research with SpatialPlex™
The tumor microenvironment, comprising multiple cellular and molecular factors, plays a critical role in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance. Thus, the deconvolution of the tumor microenvironment is fundamental for the progress of cancer research and treatment success.
While immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays a central role in the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, as well as the selection of patients for targeted therapies, the magnitude of the complex network of markers is lacking due to the limitation in multiplexing and quantitative ability.
Likewise, the clinical introduction of next-generation sequencing has made it possible to match mutational profiles to specific targeted therapies, however improving response rates to immunotherapy will similarly require a deep understanding of the immune microenvironment and the spatial context of each component in a patient-specific way.
