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.

Speak to a specialist
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

Higher sensitivity means you can detect more genes at lower read depths, maximizing your sequencing budget.

The newest version of Chromium (GEM-X) features higher sensitivity and more efficient sequencing than our previous Next GEM chemistry.

  • 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.
