AACR Annual Meeting 2026

April 17-22, San Diego, CA

Booth #1823

See what’s new with RareCyte at AACR

Explore spatial biology and liquid biopsy solutions that enable you to translate biomarkers into clinical impact. See our platforms at the booth and discover how cancer researchers are using Orion and CyteFinder for biomarker development.

Meet our team at booth 1823.
Talk spatial biology and liquid biopsy, see the instruments in person, and discuss how Orion and CyteFinder can accelerate your research.

Big news is coming for spatial proteomics in clinical research. 

Orion — RareCyte's spatial proteomics platform — is already redefining what's possible for spatial biomarker development. At AACR 2026, we'll be sharing a new instrument that raises that ceiling further. If your work depends on spatial proteomics at cohort scale, this is news you'll want to hear in person.

Visit booth 1823 to be first to hear the news.

Cancer research, powered by RareCyte.

Leading researchers are presenting findings powered by Orion and CyteFinder across this year's program.
