The Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression workflow assays RNA levels in intact formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) or Fresh Frozen (FF) tissue sections. It uses probes targeting the whole transcriptome. Each Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression Slide contains Capture Areas with barcoded spots that include oligonucleotides required to capture gene expression probes.

This document outlines the protocol for generating Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression probe-based libraries from FFPE or FF tissue sections.
