CosMx SMI enables high-resolution imaging of more than 1,000 RNA and over 64 protein analytes within morphologically intact whole tissue sections. The CosMx instrument allows researchers to visualize and quantify gene and protein expression at single cell and subcellular resolutions within both fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Using a multi-modality approach, including protein imaging, CosMx SMI delivers best-in-class cell segmentation. With high-plex in situ analysis, researchers can perform cell typing, cell state, functional, and cell-cell interaction analyses in a single experiment to generate high-resolution cell atlases.

“The CosMx SMI is the only instrument that has provided us with the opportunity to simultaneously visualize thousands of genes, at subcellular resolution, and across all cells in a tissue,” says Miranda Orr, PhD, an Alzheimer’s disease researcher at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina who purchased both NanoString’s CosMx SMI and GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). “We are able to develop maps of the brain at an unprecedented resolution.”

CosMx SMI serves scientists across the continuum of research using a tunable workflow that can prioritize either unbiased whole-slide imaging at high-plex for discovery or high-throughput biology-driven analysis for translational research applications. Researchers can choose from a wide variety of CosMx SMI assays, including pre-defined panels, pre-defined panels combined with custom content, or fully customized assays supporting studies of any species.

The CosMx SMI is the newest product in the company's industry-leading spatial analysis portfolio, joining the GeoMx® DSP. The GeoMx DSP is a fully-automated spatial profiler allowing multi-cellular analysis of whole transcriptome for both human and mouse applications. Both platforms are also customizable for other species.
