Spatial ATAC-seq

Uncover Chromatin Accessibility with Spatial Precision

Spatial ATAC-seq for high-resolution chromatin accessibility

Map open chromatin directly on tissue, connect accessibility with morphology, and uncover regulatory programs—on the same slide you already know and trust.

  • Whole-tissue context
    Preserve spatial organization while profiling chromatin accessibility across sections—no dissociation required.
  • From peaks to programs
    Call peaks, quantify gene activity, score motifs/TF binding potential, and annotate neighborhoods & cell states.
  • Seamless co-analysis
    Designed to integrate with spatial RNA or H&E for multi-omic interpretation and better target discovery.
  • FFPE support (new)
    Run challenging archival samples with an FFPE-ready workflow and analysis presets.

New • FFPE support

FFPE-ready Spatial ATAC-seq

Unlock chromatin accessibility from archival tissue blocks. Preserve histology, maintain spatial context, and expand cohorts when fresh-frozen isn’t available.

  • Archival reach: Compatible with FFPE sections to unlock retrospective studies and rare samples.
  • Streamlined workflow: Slide-based chemistry with lab-friendly steps and QC checkpoints.
  • Robust analysis: Gene activity, motif scoring, and peak calling presets tuned for FFPE data.
  • Co-interpretation: Overlay with H&E or spatial RNA for richer biological context.
*Validated on representative oncology and immunology tissues. Contact us for sample guidelines.
