10x Genomics Expands Visium Platform with Launch of Visium HD 3' Gene Expression, Unlocking Deeper Spatial Recovery
New assay delivers high-resolution whole transcriptome data to explore biology beyond known genes
PLEASANTON, Calif., May 13, 2025 - 10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG), a leader in single cell and spatial biology, today announced the launch of Visium HD 3' Gene Expression, a powerful new assay that expands the capabilities of the Visium HD portfolio beyond the boundaries of known genes and species. The new Visium HD 3' assay introduces 10x's first high-resolution spatial transcriptomics solution purpose-built for de novo discovery, empowering researchers to explore biology beyond known genes, annotated genomes and traditional model organisms.
Using a 3' polyadenylated RNA capture chemistry that is compatible with fresh frozen tissues, the assay supports species-agnostic analysis across human, mouse, rat, non-human primates, canine, zebrafish and more. Researchers now have the capability to interrogate isoforms, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and immune repertoires, including T Cell and B Cell receptors, with single cell resolution and spatial context. The assay also expands applications in translational research, enabling high-fidelity spatial profiling of xenografts and other complex biological models.
"Visium HD 3' is designed to help researchers explore the unknown," said Michael Schnall-Levin, Founding Scientist and Chief Technology Officer at 10x Genomics. "Whether you're working in rat, non-human primate or other emerging models, this new assay empowers spatial discovery in ways never before possible - with no compromise to resolution or data quality."
The new assay complements the existing Visium HD WT Panel Gene Expression assay, which supports differential gene expressional analysis in FFPE, fresh frozen and fixed frozen tissues from human and mouse. Together, these assays strengthen the Visium HD portfolio and integrate seamlessly with the Chromium and Xenium platforms, reflecting 10x's continued innovation across single cell and spatial technologies to accelerate science and empower deeper biological discovery.
Visium HD 3' Gene Expression is now available for pre-order and expected to ship by the end of Q2. To learn more, visit http://10xgen.com/hd-3-prime or contact your 10x Genomics representative.
