PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG), a leader in single cell and spatial biology, announced today that a new non-peer-reviewed study has independently evaluated the technical performance of three spatial imaging platforms and found the Xenium In Situ platform demonstrated higher quality transcript counts per gene at higher specificity for 22 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues compared to NanoString's CosMx and Vizgen's MERSCOPE. This comparison, presented in a preprint posted to bioRxiv, marks one of the first benchmarking studies of commercially available spatial imaging platforms using data independently generated in the customer's own lab.

Key Points: 
  • Xenium consistently demonstrated higher sensitivity than both CosMx (more than 12x the sensitivity) and MERSCOPE (over 2x more sensitive) when it came to comparing the expression levels of shared genes.
  • Importantly, the Xenium platform accurately measured low-expressing genes unlike CosMx and showed better correlations with healthy tissue than MERSCOPE.
  • In healthy breast samples, Xenium identified all nine expected cell types, but CosMx only resolved six of these cell types.
  • Cell-type identification data for MERSCOPE was only provided for breast cancer tissue and, much like CosMx, MERSCOPE did not recognize all the expected cell types.
