TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS

Choose the dimensions your research needs.

From genetic variation and phenotype to transcriptional states, tissue context and individual microbes. Choose a measurement approach around your research question.

Each platform has its own experimental workflow and can be used alone or in combination, depending on the research question.

START WITH THE QUESTION

Three considerations before choosing a platform.

Measurement target

Genetic variants, expression states, surface proteins, spatial positions and individual microbes each offer a different view.

Sample context

Sample type, processing and quality shape the available approaches. Every project starts with sample assessment.

Interpretation

Consider experimental design, quality metrics and analytical assumptions together, so the data can address the original question.
