Existing Integration Within The NIAMS GTS Infrastructure

The National Institutes of Health intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to 10X Genomics Inc. for the procurement of the 10x Genomics Atera Platform, an integrated, end-to-end spatial biology system. The system will be used to support high-throughput spatial transcriptomics within the NIAMS Genomic Technology Section (GTS). • The Atera Platform offers capabilities such as highly parallelized, whole-transcriptome spatial imaging at subcellular resolution and compatibility with both fresh frozen and FFPE tissues without assay optimization. • The system provides a fully supported workflow that reduces technical variability and enables rapid, reproducible data generation. • 10x Genomics is considered uniquely positioned to meet the scientific, technical, and operational requirements of this acquisition due to its established leadership in single-cell and spatial genomics technologies and its existing integration within the NIAMS GTS infrastructure.
