The run-ready screen is the most common state of the instrument. There 

are several key functions accessible directly from the home screen.

Main Operation Overview

This section is meant as a general overview of instrument operation and its placement 
within the steps of the Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression assay. When performing 
the protocol, follow the steps listed in the appropriate assay kit user guide and use this 
section only as a reference.

Before proceeding with the appropriate Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene 

Expression assay:
Select two tissue slides containing sections of interest, and verify 

that the tissue section is located in an area that results in successful 

analyte transfer and imaging. Overlay the slides on the diagrams in the 

Visium CytAssist Quick Reference Cards – for Accessory Kit Instruction 

(CG000548), located in the Instrument Accessory Kit.

 Refer to the 

Tips & Best 

Practices

 section for further guidance.

If only one tissue on one slide will be loaded, use a blank slide for the 

second position on the Tissue Slide Stage. 
Follow the protocol in the appropriate assay kit user guide for preliminary 

steps and preparation prior to using the Visium CytAssist instrument.

a. 

Gather two tissue slides, the appropriate Visium CytAssist Spatial 

Gene Expression slide and reagents as listed in the appropriate assay 

kit user guide.
