GEM-X Flex

Whole transcriptome gene expression, with ultimate flexibility in sample prep and the ability to fix, batch, and run samples on your schedule We recommend Flex Gene Expression in experiments that:

  • Profile up to 384 samples a week with 96-well sample multiplexing

  • Require flexible sample batching and the ability to run partial plates

  • Use archival or lower-quality samples

GEM-X Universal 3'

A versatile solution providing 3' gene expression with options for multiomic analysis We recommend Universal 3' in experiments that...

  • Require full-length transcript readouts, with or without simultaneous protein expression

  • Only require gene expression, or may use ATAC in the future

  • Have lower cell input requirements

GEM-X Universal 5'

Comprehensive analysis of immune diversity, combining 5' gene expression with multiomic profiling We recommend Universal 5' in experiments that...

  • Require full length transcript readouts, with or without simultaneous protein expression

  • Require or may use CRISPR and TCR/BCR sequencing in the future

  • Have lower cell input requirements
