10x Genomics obtained fresh frozen mouse brain tissue from BioIVT Asterand. The tissue was embedded and cryosectioned as described in Visium Spatial Protocols - Tissue Preparation Guide Demonstrated Protocol (CG000240). Tissue sections of 10 µm thickness from a slice of the coronal plane were placed on Visium Gene Expression slides, then stained following the Methanol Fixation, H&E Staining & Imaging Demonstrated Protocol (CG000160).
- Sex: Male
- Age: >8 weeks
- Strain: C57BL/6
- Section Orientation: Coronal
The slide was coverslipped and the H&E image acquired using a Nikon Ti2-E microscope with the following settings:
- Color camera
- 10X objective
- Numerical Aperture: 0.45
- Exposure: 2 ms
- Gain: 4.5X
The Visium Spatial Gene Expression libraries were prepared following the Visium Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits User Guide (CG000239 Rev A).
