Abstract
Xenium allows for in situ transcript detection of selected probe set of RNA targets revealing spatially resolved expression patterns at nearly single-cell resolution.
Tissue processing and QC
Tissue processing and QC
Determine suitable samples of interest by performing a test described in CG000578, sectioning guidelines described in Step 1 pgs. 18-25 and H&E staining in Appendix pgs. 38-45

Evaluate section and staining quality, only choose samples or regions free of detachment or artifacts
Xenium slide preparation
Xenium slide preparation
Utilize CG000578 for section placement on Xenium slides, follow Step 3, pgs. 29-33
After drying slide overnight or up to 4 weeks, proceed with deparaffinization and decrosslinking steps found in CG000580 Download CG000580_Demonstrated_Protocol_Xenium_FFPE_Deparaffinization_Decrosslinking_RevC.pdfCG000580_Demonstrated_Protocol_Xenium_FFPE_Deparaffinization_Decrosslinking_RevC.pdf7MB

Immediately following decrosslinking start to prepare probes of interest as outlined in CG000582 Download CG000582_XeniumInSitu_GeneExpression_UserGuide_RevE.pdfCG000582_XeniumInSitu_GeneExpression_UserGuide_RevE.pdf7.8MB
