The CosMx – At a glance

‌Works with real world samples
Compatible with FFPE and fresh frozen tissue
‌Cloud-based AI-powered analytics
Powerful bioinformatic pipeline driving deeper and faster data analysis

I‌maging of the complete tissue section
‌Flexibility to determine the imaging area and number of Fields of View (FOVs)

How the CosMx works

The CosMx uses automated fluidics and imaging to hybridise and visualise 16 sets of four fluoresecent reporters, enabling protein imaging of 64 different antibodies

‌How researchers are using the CosMx

‌Cell atlas and characterisation
Defining cell types, cell states, tissue microenvironment phenotypes, and gene expression networks within spatial context
Cell-cell interaction
Understanding biological process controlled by ligand-receptor interactions
‌Treatment effects
‌Quantifying changes in gene expression before and after treatment
‌Spatial biomarkers
‌Identifying single-cell subcellular biomarkers with spatial context

‌Propath’s complete service for CosMx studies

We take care of the complete process from sample preparation to data analysis, with robust QA procedures and complete traceability of your precious samples.

01 .

Tell us about your study

We’ll explain the complete process and provide as much support as needed to help you make key decisions and generate meaningful data that achieves your objectives.

02 .

Select your panel and number of Fields of View (FOVs)

Choose from one of NanoString’s validated protein or RNA panels, with the option to spike-in additional protein targets if required.

03 .

Sample prep and hybridisation

We prepare your FFPE or fresh frozen samples ready for flow cell analysis, including hybridization of RNA specific probes and antibodies; and assembly of the CosMx flow cell.

04 .

CosMx molecular imaging

Our experienced staff run CosMx analysis within our dedicated NanoString lab based in the UK.

05 .

Communication and QA

Expect regular updates and as many collaborative discussions throughout your study as required. All our processes are supported by SOPs, traning and QA oversight, developed and refined over 30 years.

06 .

AI powered data analysis

We offer a comprehensive, service for data analysis and visualisations, powered by AI, hosted in the cloud and brilliant for collaboration across teams!
