 New Xenium Prime 5K Pan-Tissue and Pathways panel increases plex by an order of magnitude and delivers industry-leading speed and throughput

PLEASANTON, Calif., May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG), a leader in single cell and spatial biology, announced today the launch of its Xenium Prime 5K Pan-Tissue and Pathways panel. The new assay features an enhanced chemistry to increase plex by an order of magnitude while delivering excellent per-gene sensitivity, improved specificity and spatial fidelity, integrated multimodal cell segmentation, and industry-leading speed and throughput.

“Seeing the Xenium Prime 5K data reminded me of the excitement I experienced when I saw single cell RNA-seq data for the first time,” said Dr. Kevin Wei, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Now, we can identify relevant molecular pathways in human diseases and explore new biological hypotheses, all from one glass slide.”

The high-plex Xenium Prime 5K assay enables a new level of exploration for pathways, biomarkers, ligand-receptor pairings and cell-cell interactions. Key features include:

Highest plex Xenium panel for comprehensive profiling of cell types and states and cell signaling pathways across multiple tissue and disease types.Excellent data quality to unlock mechanisms of disease, therapeutics and cell behavior. The Xenium Prime 5K assay is optimized for performance and paired with 10x Genomics’ advanced multimodal cell segmentation, enabling high sensitivity, specificity and spatial fidelity.Rapid turnaround time with easy, tissue-agnostic workflows. 10x Genomics’ industry-leading throughput enables researchers to analyze up to 472 mm² of tissue in six days or less.Easily customizable with up to 100 additional genes to capture customers’ specific research needs.Rigorously designed and developed using single cell RNA-seq data from dozens of different organs and tissues, gene expression profiles from hundreds of cell types and a screen of more than 750,000 peer-reviewed publications to pinpoint highly cited biomarkers.

“We successfully launched Xenium with a broad menu of curated and highly customizable gene panels so customers could target specific biology important for their research,” said Michael Schnall-Levin, Founding Scientist and Chief Technology Officer at 10x Genomics. “With the launch of our 5K gene panel, researchers can now also use Xenium for spatial exploration, enabling more biology and more breakthroughs. This assay is yet another example of how we put our innovation engine to work for our customers and build best-in-class products that deliver best-in-class results.”

By

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Spatial Labs, a cutting-edge technology and design company, introduces their first fashion collection – Core Powered by Circle—a revolutionary step forward in fashion and how we connect with each other.

The Core collection is the first to leverage the new innovative platform Circle, which transforms the way we engage, share, and build relationships. Core marks the beginning of a new era in personal expression and connection – setting a new standard for fashion and for global brands.

The Core collection embodies Spatial Labs’ commitment to innovation, self-expression, and cultural impact. Each piece offers a new way to interact, making fashion a living reflection of personal identity.

The debut Core collection features essential pieces including Core Tee $120, Core Crewneck $220, Core pants $250 and Core Hoodie $320. The collection comes in five colorways including: Arctic, Titanium, Carbon, Rust, and Moss. The Core collection is made in Los Angeles and debuts online and at the flagship store in Culver City at The Platform, where customers can explore the future of fashion and experience the technology firsthand.

“Our vision with Circle is to build a platform that allows people to interact with the world around them in ways never before possible,” said Iddris Sandu, Founder & CEO of Spatial Labs.

“In a world where our connections have become fragmented and often impersonal, Circle is reimagining how we share and preserve moments. It’s not just about social networks; it’s about building a new interaction layer where everyday objects and experiences tell our stories in real-time.”

Sandu continued: “With Core and Circle, we’re pioneering a future where the objects we own,wear and touch are gateways to personal memories and shared experiences. This is not some far-off vision—it’s here, today, and it’s creating opportunities for everyone to showcase their lives in ways that feel more intimate, more authentic, and ultimately more human.”

Each item in the Core collection is embedded with smart chip technology linked to Circle which allows users to personalize their clothing. Circle users can post to their feed using “Tiles” to share photos, videos, links, playlists, and more moments from their daily life, creating deeper connections and fostering a sense of community. And it all comes to life when users tap the Tag on each other’s clothing.

Circle offers an alternative space for individuals to express themselves, allowing users to share their lives more authentically and intimately. Unlike traditional social media sharing tools that often feel impersonal, overly curated, and limiting, Circle keeps you and your close circle of friends connected, enabling a depth of presence to share your stories in real time without any expectations of maintaining a perfect image.
