Opal Kits & Reagents
Multiple Tissue Biomarkers in Context
Akoya’s Opal™ Multiplex IHC kits make multiplex results accessible to anyone who works with standard immunohistochemistry. With Opal, you can select antibodies for simultaneous IHC detection based on performance rather than species. Opal kits are optimized for reliable spectral unmixing and simultaneous measurement of three to eight IHC targets, plus a nuclear stain.
Opal enables you to:
- Use the best primary antibodies, regardless of species – with no cross-reactivity
- Identify multiple cell phenotypes while retaining spatial and morphological context that is lost with bulk measurements and flow cytometry
- Get more information from precious and scarce samples
