Piscataway, NJ – Sampled, an integrated analytical laboratory and biorepository, has partnered with 10x Genomics to offer a Spatial In Situ Gene Expression Services Grant, using the Xenium Prime 5K assay, for researchers across the United States.

Spatial transcriptomics is a rapidly growing field that allows scientists to map gene expression across different conditions within a tissue’s natural architecture. This approach has important applications in both physiological and disease research, including studies of tumor microenvironments and neurodegenerative tissues, by revealing cellular activation states, developmental trajectories, and cell identities.

In support of bold research aimed at advancing our understanding of health and disease, Sampled is excited to announce a new grant opportunity: one researcher will be awarded a complete 10x Genomics Xenium Prime 5K assay workflow for four slides, worth $46,000, performed end-to-end by our technical experts. The awardee may submit fresh-frozen or FFPE tissue and will receive a comprehensive dataset covering cell boundaries, transcript locations, gene expression profiles, and the spatial organization of cells and transcripts.

The 10x Genomics Xenium platform is a best-in-class technology for spatial gene expression mapping. A single slide using the Xenium Prime 5K panel provides expression analysis of approximately 5,000 genes across intact tissue containing an imageable area of 236mm². Insights gained from the Xenium can provide a powerful starting point or complementary dataset for diverse research programs spanning discovery through to translational work. The Xenium helps to answer research questions centered on complex cellular interactions, such as tracking the evolution of cancer tissue and assessing immune cell dynamics post-treatment.

Sampled supports state-of-the-art research as a Certified Service Provider for 10x Genomics Xenium In Situ, Visium Spatial, and Chromium Single Cell platforms. As a leader in cellular and molecular biology platforms, 10x Genomics enables researchers to generate high-resolution insights into gene expression, cellular identity, and tissue architecture, powering the next generation of discoveries.

In addition to delivering end-to-end workflows using 10x Genomics platforms, Sampled’s integrated services span sample collection, storage, processing, and bioinformatics analysis. By applying expertise at every step, we help protect sample integrity and generate robust, reliable data to support research and downstream decision-making.
