GEM-X Universal 5' Gene Expression
GEM-X Flex Gene Expression

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...

  • Use archival or lower-quality samples

  • Require flexible sample batching

  • Will scale up and require the lowest cost per-cell

GEM-X Universal 3' Gene Expression

A versatile solution providing 3' gene expression with options for multiomic analysis

We recommend 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' Gene Expression

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
