- Numerical Aperture: 0.8
- ScopeLED light source: VS200 LED, Olympus integrated bright field source
- Camera: iDS VS-264C, Olympus scanner integrated camera
- Exposure: 410 microseconds
Assay workflow
Probe hybridization, probe ligation, slide preparation, probe release, extension, and library construction followed the Visium HD Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits User Guide (CG000685).
- Slide serial number: H1-8CPZTMY
- Area: A-1
- Instrument: Visium CytAssist
- Probe set: Visium Mouse Transcriptome Probe Set v2.0
Sequencing
- Indexing: Dual index plate TS set A; sample index A3
- Sequencing instrument: Illumina NovaSeq 6000
- Sequencing configuration: 43 bp read 1, 50 bp read 2, 10 bp i7 sample index, and 10 bp i5 sample index
- Sequencing depth: 312.1 million reads
Analysis
Space Ranger v3.0 was used to map FASTQ files to the reference, detect tissue, align the data to the microscope and CytAssist images, and output feature-barcode matrices for further analysis.
