Design High-Quality, Customizable Biomarker Panels with Confidence
Orion streamlines panel development with validated antibodies, ready-to-use panels, and labeling kits for custom markers.
RareCyte also offers custom panel design, biomarker conjugation, and validation support tailored to your needs. Stain all proteins in one round to simplify validation, speed development, and ensure high-quality, reproducible data.
Orion Workflow: Whole Slide, High-Plex, High-Throughput
Standard pathology workflow enabling batch staining without occupying the scanner to facilitate large volume studies and multi-user environments. Whole slide scanning compatible with large and/or multiple specimens per slide. 20 channels per round for pristine data quality at maximum efficiency.


One advantage of Orion is staining 17 antibodies all at once. Compared to the cyclic IF, you don’t have to do stripping which can lead to a loss of antibody antigenicity following antigen degradation and the tissue is not altered, so the detection of the antigen is optimal. In addition, you don't have to design the position of the antibodies in the cycle. This technology saves time.
