MWACD Spatial Biology Grant Program

A Chance to Achieve the TRUE Single-cell Resolution for FREE!

Top prize valued at up to $12,650

  • Deadline: November 1, 2024

True Single-cell Resolution

With unbeatable nanoscale of spot size in 0.22 µm in diameter, Stereo-seq technology offers researchers a novel tool to explore spatial biology with unprecedented true single cell resolution at 0.5 µm , enabling simultaneous transcriptome study and analysis at tissue-, cellular-, subcellular- and molecular level from fresh frozen, FFPE, fixed frozen tissues.

Stereo-seq DNB chips have spots with a diameter of 0.22 µm and a center-to-center distance of 0.5 µm which provides up to 400 spots per 100 µm2, thereby allowing whole transcriptome mapping at true single cell resolution.
