For instance, the MERSCOPE platform, the exclusive platform for the MERFISH technology, was commercialised by vizgen, a life science business committed to enhancing human health by visualising single cell spatial genomics information, in August 2021. Through combinatorial labelling, sequential imaging, and error-resistant barcoding, MERFISH offers the best detection efficiency currently available for spatially profiling gene expression across whole tissues and resolving individual transcripts with nanometre scale resolution.
The world's first comprehensive sample to insight high plex spatial omics solution for single cell level characterisation was also unveiled by Veranome Biosystems LLC in March 2021. It has been shown that the Pisces technology can map hundreds of custom gene panels in tissues at sub cellular resolution with great sensitivity and gene counts per cell.
The global market for Spatial Omics is anticipated to reach US$ 267 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2022 to 2030.
