10x Genomics Chromium accolades
Recover more cells for more insights

Achieve up to 80% cell recovery efficiency for a wide array of samples, including FFPE, and cell types with our newest GEM-X technology.

10x Genomics Chromium has up to 80% cell recovery
  • Identify rare cell types and detect rare transcripts
  • Improved detection of fragile cell types, including neutrophils
  • High cell recovery lets you use less sample while getting more data
  • Recover up to 60% more of your sample compared to manual pipetting methods

Detect more, sequence less

Unmatched sensitivity that’s 40% higher than alternative methods means you can detect more genes at lower read depths, maximizing your sequencing budget.

The newest version of Chromium (GEM-X) leads the market with the highest sensitivity.

Maximize results, minimize hidden costs
Pre-designed Xenium panels graphic icon
  • Ensures consistent performance across experiments, users, and chips
  • Minimizes handling and user errors with fast and reliable workflows
  • Makes the most of your precious samples with cell recovery rates of up to 80%
  • Gives higher return on your sequencing budget by letting you reduce reads by >60%
Combinatorial barcoding methods
  • Introduces variability across users and assays with manual protocols
  • Relies on long workflows with labor-intensive, error-prone methods
  • Misses critical data from important cell populations with low cell recovery rates
  • Increases sequencing costs since lower sensitivity requires more reads
Scale without compromise

Perform small- to large-scale projects quickly and seamlessly. Run projects that aren't limited by cell number and batch samples, processing 1–128 samples or up to 2.56 million cells per run.
