Precision Spatial Biology with Orion Multiplex Immunofluorescence Imaging


Orion is a benchtop, high resolution, whole slide multimodal imaging instrument. A combination of quantitative immunofluorescence and bright field imaging enables robust spatial biology studies and biomarker quantitation.

Overview of Orion Multiplex Immunofluorescence Imaging

Utilizing a swift sample-to-data workflow, all channels are acquired across the entire slide in one scan while rapid data processing enables whole slide, unbiased quantitation. Quick and precise sample-to-data speed provides more time for analysis and less time spent setting up your experiment. Save even more time by using our already validated panels with the standard IHC tools you already have on your workbench.
