Orion is a benchtop, high resolution whole-slide fluorescence imaging system that images 21 channels in a single scan within 2 hours and enables rapid spatial insights – even in the presence of autofluorescence.



The Orion Instrument for spatial biology:

  • Delivers 21-channel datasets for cell classification studies, analysis of protein expression, spatial analysis, and subcellular location
  • Enables rapid highly multiplexed tissue analysis
  • Accelerates comprehensive phenotypic profiling studies and spatial analysis of tissue microenvironment
  • Detects biomarkers in the presence of autofluorescence
  • Fits in standard pathology workflows

Orion isolates overlapping signals into separate channels

Orion addresses challenges of working with tissue autofluorescence through the ability to extract biomarker signals from autofluorescence.

Shown at right, a lung carcinoma with appreciable sample autofluorescence was stained with nuclear dye and anti‑cytokeratin antibody—all with overlapping emission spectra.

Orion isolates the biomarker and nuclear dye signals into separate channels and captures autofluorescence into its own channel.
