GEM-X Flex Gene Expression
Comprehensive whole-transcriptome gene expression with unmatched flexibility in sample prep and the freedom to fix, batch, and process samples on your own schedule.
Recommended for experiments that…
- Use archival or lower-quality samples
- Require flexible sample batching
- Will scale up and require the lowest cost per-cell


GEM-X Universal 3’ Gene Expression
This is a flexible 3′ gene expression platform with built-in multiomic analysis capabilities.
Recommended for experiments that…
- Require full-length transcript readouts, with or without simultaneous protein expression
- Only require gene expression, or may use ATAC in the future
- Have lower cell input requirements


GEM-X Universal 5’ Gene Expression
In‐depth immune diversity analysis uniting 5′ gene expression with advanced multiomic workflows.
Recommended for experiments that…
- Require full length transcript readouts, with or without simultaneous protein expression
- Require or may use CRISPR and TCR/BCR sequencing in the future
- Have lower cell input requirements
