CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI)

Bruker’s CosMX™ Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) is an advanced platform for in situ multi-omic spatial analysis at the single-cell level.

CosMx SMI is the only in situ imaging platform that offers single-cell spatial biology of the whole transcriptome with unparalleled accuracy, sensitivity, and genomic breadth. It provides spatial multi-omics on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh frozen (FF) tissue samples with single-cell and subcellular resolution.

CosMx SMI enables rapid quantification and visualization of the whole transcriptome (WTX) and 64 validated proteins, offering best-in-class performance for the discovery of unknown and unexpected biology. Capture the history of every cell-to-cell interaction in a whole tissue section with this industry-leading single-cell spatial imaging platform and gain deeper insights for cell atlasing, tissue phenotyping, cell-cell interactions, cellular processes, and biomarker discovery.

Key Features

Unparalleled sensitivity: superior detection efficiency to obtain the highest number of transcripts and unique genes per cell without damaging the tissue.
Maximum single-cell plexity: the first and only spatial platform capable of visualizing the entire protein-coding transcriptome in every cell and more than 64 proteins.
Most accurate cell segmentation: leading AI algorithms for the most precise definition of cell boundaries and transcript assignment to individual cells.
Pre-defined and customizable assays: 1K, 6K, WTX RNA, and 72 proteins.
AtoMx spatial informatics platform: study-level data exploration suite with flexible export formats for open-source analysis.
Same-cell multi-omics: add another dimension by combining WTX RNA and 72 proteins in the same cell.

How does it work?

CosMx SMI is an integrated system with mature cyclic fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) chemistry, high-resolution imaging, and interactive software for data analysis and visualization.

CosMx SMI Integrated System

Simple sample preparation, compatible with any sample type

Streamlined and simple workflow that integrates with standard ISH protocols, without the need for tissue expansion or clearing, cDNA synthesis, or amplification. Go from sample to result faster.

CosMx Sample Preparation

Automated cyclic in situ hybridization chemistry

Robust hybridization chemistry that delivers higher sensitivity and supports high-plex assays on your tissue samples to uncover deeper biological insights.

Automated Hybridization Chemistry

Applications

Cell atlasing and characterization: define cell types, cell states, tissue microenvironment phenotypes, and gene expression networks within the spatial context. Ligand-receptor interaction: analyze the expression and interactions of up to 100 classical ligand-receptor pairs between interacting cells. Biomarker discovery: quantify gene expression changes based on treatment and identify subcellular biomarkers from a single cell with spatial context. Disease state: visualize and quantify molecular (RNA/protein) and cellular organizational changes in a tissue. Tissue microenvironment: understand cellular neighborhoods by examining individual cells and their interacting neighboring cells.
