High-Plex Spatial Profiling of RNA and Protein Using Digital Spatial Profiler

The rapid emergence of spatial multi-omics technologies in recent years has revolutionized biomedical research. Among these, the Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP, commercialized by nanoString) has become one of the dominant technologies in spatial transcriptomics and proteomics and has assisted in deconvoluting complex biological questions. Based on our practical experience in the past 3 years with DSP, we share here a detailed hands-on protocol and key handling notes that will allow the broader community to optimize their work procedure.
