Multispectral Imaging Explained
This brief overview shows the power of MOTiF™ multispectral imaging to unlock the full potential of spatial biology. This includes a discussion of the confounding effects of cross-talk between spectra and how this limitation has been successfully addressed with spectral-unmixing.
Phenoptics Technology
The Phenoptics 2.0 solution, featuring MOTiF rapid 7-color scanning, enables you to visualize and measure tissue cells including multiple cell phenotypes simultaneously in FFPE tissue across the whole slide. Phenoptics integrates multiplexed immunohistochemistry and imaging to quantitatively capture systems biology data with cellular detail. It reveals multi-parameter cellular expressions and interactions while retaining spatial context, offering insights into the complexity of tissue biology.

Experimental Workflow
01
Stain
Simultaneously detect up to eight biomarkers plus DAPI within a single tissue section. Opal staining allows researchers to use the best primary antibodies, even those raised in the same species, together for multiplex detection. Our staining solutions provide researchers with tools to assess multiple cellular phenotypes simultaneously while retaining spatial context within tissue sections.
02
Image
Our imaging systems deliver high quality data including morphological context down to the subcellular level. These systems detect and measure multiple biomarkers, even if overlapping, within a single IHC or IF tissue section or TMA. Previously undetectable signal levels can now be imaged, with vastly improved quantification – particularly for solid, formalin-fixed, and paraffin-embedded tissues.
03
Analyze
Our software programs combine the latest technologies with algorithms and intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces, giving you the power to make new, exciting discoveries from your data. Our automated advanced image analysis software allows you to visualize, analyze, quantify and phenotype cells labeled with multiple biomarkers in situ in FFPE tissue sections.
- Multi-institutional study demonstrates the power of the Phenoptics 2.0 system for controlling inter- and intra-site variability which is critical for translational studies.
