Delivering true single-cell spatial omics
Meet Trekker—the first true single-cell mapping kit. Designed as a simple reagent kit, Trekker integrates seamlessly with existing single-cell sequencing workflows and preserves the high molecular sensitivity of single-cell data. You can now transform standard single-cell genomics data into spatial data through a simple, straightforward workflow.

You can now transform standard single-cell genomics data into spatial data through a simple, straightforward workflow.
Trekker works by tagging each nucleus within its native tissue environment with unique spatial barcodes. These spatial barcodes are read using next-generation sequencing (NGS), allowing each nucleus to be bioinformatically positioned in its spatial coordinates. The result is a spatial map with true single-cell resolution without the use of complex instrumentation, cell-type deconvolution, or cell segmentation.
