Spatial transcriptomics service
WashU Pediatric Center of Excellence in Nephrology (WU-PCEN)
Our center offers spatial transcriptomics service using 10X Xenium or nanostring CosMx SMI platforms.
Send us sections of your fixed paraffin embedded slides and we will run your 10X Xenium or CosMx assay at a subsidized cost. Users can supply their own kits or use from the center (will be billed to the use). Part of the costs for processing and preparation of the slides will be subsidized by WU-PCEN and the service will be administered through the WU Kidney Translational Research Center (KTRC) for up to 20 slides per year (rolling bases) with approximately 4 slides per applicant.
The center directors will provide consultation for different ST option including choice of target panels to use (commercial or custom based on our experience), basic QC metrics and analysis through the core’s pipeline. The users must agree to share data with public repositories upon submission of the manuscript. All raw and processed data will be transferred to the investigator.
