Introducing PhenoCode Signature Panels

PhenoCode Signature Panels scan 1

Whether you’re developing predictive biomarkers, understanding response to immunotherapy, developing the next generation of immunotherapies, or validating your biomarker studies, PhenoCode™ Signature Panels provide the flexibility to keep pace with the dynamic combination therapy landscape.

PhenoCode Signature Panels

PhenoCode Signature panels blend the sensitivity of the Opal-TSA detection system with the flexibility and easy assay development features of Akoya's propiertary universal protein barcoding chemistry. These panels enable comprehensive analysis of key aspects of the tumor microenvironment involved in immune response, providing a rapid and novel solution for the development of a spatial signature.

PhenoCode Signature Panels

Featuring a flexible design component, PhenoCode Signature panels allow for the easy integration of a novel checkpoint or immune cell marker into a 5-plex base panel. Panels include primary antibodies, Opal signal amplification dyes, and reagents to accommodate 1 additional biomarker of interest to answer your question of interest.

Opal Antibody Panels provide pre-optimized, ready-to-use primary antibodies and detection reagents designed for use with automated staining and PhenoImager™ Fusion and PhenoImager™ HT (formerly Vectra Polaris) instruments and offer a validated end-to-end solution for unparalleled quantitative data in translational immuno-oncology research.

The Opal Multiplex Detection Kits have been renamed to reflect the level of multiplexing instead of numbers of colors. Automation has become the default and “Manual” compatibility is indicated where applicable.

Tyramide signal amplification (TSA™ staining) typically provides 2-3 logs of sensitivity enhancement over standard fluorescent and hapten based detection methods. TSA staining increases sensitivity while maintaining resolution and dynamic range while allowing reduced consumption of primary antibodies.
