Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
It is a freshly GA, vendor-backed end-to-end product with strong throughput claims (sequencing-based, single-cell, 2x genes vs panels), but fresh-frozen-only scope, Illumina-stack lock-in, higher sequencing/compute cost, and no independent validation limit near-term applicability.
Next
Pilot only if a fresh-frozen spatial-transcriptomics use case and a NovaSeq/NextSeq instrument are already in place; otherwise wait for the 2027 FFPE version and the first independent gene-detection benchmarks vs 10x/NanoString.
