Vizgen is a spatial biology company building integrated spatial multiomics platforms for single-cell research. Its MERSCOPE and MERSCOPE Ultra instruments use MERFISH imaging-based spatial transcriptomics to map up to 1,000 RNA targets in intact tissue at subcellular resolution, complemented by InSituPlex multiplex protein immunofluorescence assays (OmniVUE and custom U-VUE panels) and the STARVUE analysis software. Vizgen publishes no public REST, GraphQL, or event API; its developer surface is open-source data tooling — the Apache-2.0 Vizgen Post-processing Tool (VPT), a Python CLI and library distributed on PyPI and Docker Hub with a plugin architecture for segmentation algorithms, published from the Vizgen GitHub organization alongside documented MERSCOPE output data formats.
