10x Genomics obtained FFPE mouse kidney tissue from Adlego and embedded by BioIVT. The tissue was sectioned as described in Visium Spatial Gene Expression for FFPE – Tissue Preparation Guide Demonstrated Protocol (CG000408). Tissue sections of 5 µm were placed on Visium Gene Expression slides, then stained following Deparaffinization, H&E Staining, Imaging & Decrosslinking Demonstrated Protocol (CG000409).

  • Sex: Male
  • Age: >8 weeks
  • Strain: C57BL/6
  • Section Orientation: Sagittal

The H&E image was acquired using Metafer Slide Scanning Microscope from MetaSystems with these settings:

  • Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 20x objective
  • Numerical Aperture: 0.8
  • ScopeLED light source
  • MetaSystems CoolCube 4c camera

Libraries were prepared following the Visium Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits for FFPE User Guide (CG000407 Rev A).

  • Sequencing instrument: Illumina NovaSeq, flow cell H2LN2DMXY (lane 1-2)
