Abstract
This protocol describes the preparation, staining, and in situ spatial transcriptomic analysis of tissue sections using an integrated 10x Genomics workflow. Standardized procedures were followed for tissue processing, slide preparation, and staining to ensure consistency and quality. Modifications were applied where appropriate to optimize sample integrity. The 10x Genomics Xenium platform was employed for high-resolution spatial gene expression profiling, enabling detailed molecular characterization of tissue architecture.
Section preparation
Block QC and sectioning according to CG000578 Rev E.
Post sectioning, all slides are baked at 42°C for 3 hours.
Xenium In Situ
Deparaffinization and decrosslinking is done according to CG000580 Rev E. Deparaffinization temperature and time is according to this 10x protocol, 60°C for 2 hours.
Note
We perform decrosslinking according to this KB article, which recommends using 37°C for 30 minutes instead of the protocol’s recommended 80°C for 30min.
The segmentation kit staining is performed according to CG000749 Rev B.
Xenium Analyzer is used according to CG000584 Rev H.
