Question: What is the approximate weight of Xenium Decoding Modules?
Answer: Xenium Decoding Modules must be spun down as part of plate preparation ahead of a Xenium Analyzer run. Because each plate is a different weight, different modules cannot be centrifuged together, and a counter balance must be prepared. Here is a list of plate weights for references.
! Plates were weighed with foil removed, but with the rubber band and clear plastic attached.
| Application | PN | Plate Name | Weight (in grams) |
| Xenium v1 | 1000624 | Xenium Decoding Reagent Module A | ~210g |
| 1000625 | Xenium Decoding Reagent Module B | ~190g | |
| 1000639 | Xenium Cell Segmentation Detection Module | ~119 g | |
| Xenium Prime | 1000721 | Xenium Prime Decoding Reagent Module A | ~250 g |
| 1000722 | Xenium Prime Decoding Reagent Module B - 5K | ~200 g |
Please note plate weights may vary within a single part number due to variation in dispense volume and variation from the volume listed here is expected. We always recommend weighing individual plates before each run to create custom counterbalances.
Instructions for counterbalance preparation can be found in the Xenium Analyzer User Guide (CG000584).
