Merscope News!
MERSCOPE has recently reduced the size of its reagent packages, making the platform more accessible and flexible for researchers. These smaller formats lower the entry barrier and make pilot studies or smaller projects easier to run.
In addition, new 815 gene panels are now available, including Mouse PanNeuro, Pan Mouse, Human Brain, Human Immuno Oncology, and Human Breast Cancer options, offered in both small and large run formats
MERSCOPE now provides full support for both mouse and human tissues beyond brain applications, expanding its use across many research areas. A key advantage of MERFISH technology is its flexibility, allowing spatial transcriptomics studies not only in standard models but also in non canonical species such as plants, zebrafish, and axolotl.
Please let us know if you would like to discuss potential projects or explore the platform.
CRISPR Gene Editing Hands On Training Course
The Stem Cell and Organoid Facility, in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific, is organising a 2.5 day hands on training course in genome editing at the end of March.
This course is designed for researchers who want to get started with CRISPR Cas9, covering the full workflow from design to analysis in human cell lines and pluripotent stem cells.
Dates. End of March
Location. SCOF, University of Lausanne

Enhancing Our Cell Sorting Capabilities: Introducing the MACSQuant® Tyto
We are thrilled to introduce the MACSQuant® Tyto, an innovative cell sorter that redefines safety, precision, and cell viability. Unlike traditional sorters, the Tyto features a closed, sterile cartridge system, eliminating contamination risks while enabling high-purity, gentle sorting. This next-generation technology enhances our ability to work with delicate and sensitive cell populations, supporting research at BSL-1, BSL-2, and BSL-3 levels.
With this cutting-edge addition, we are expanding our capabilities to provide more reliable and efficient cell sorting solutions.

Exciting Update: Branching Lung Organoids Now Available at SCOF!
We are thrilled to announce that the Stem Cells and Organoids Facility (SCOF) has successfully established the protocol for Branching Lung Organoids!
These cutting-edge organoids, derived from human pluripotent stem cells, offer a powerful tool for studying lung development, disease modeling, and therapeutic research.
Starting today, this service is available to all researchers and collaborators interested in incorporating Branching Lung Organoids into their projects.
Feel free to reach out to us for more details or to discuss how we can support your project needs. We’re excited to work with you!
More information soon in the catalog.
