Akoya Biosciences, Inc. announced the commercial availability of the PhenoCycler™-Fusion system, setting a new standard in spatial biology for high-speed imaging of whole slides, at single-cell and sub-cellular resolution. The PhenoCycler-Fusion platform fuses the strengths of the company's automated, ultrahigh multiplex cycling platform, PhenoCycler (previously branded as CODEX), and its high-speed imaging platform, PhenoImager™ (previously branded as Phenoptics), into an end-to-end, integrated workflow. The unprecedented speed of its workflow enables researchers to image multiple biomarkers and millions of cells across whole slides in just minutes, providing an unbiased view of how cells spatially organize and interact to influence disease outcomes.

A unique benefit of the system is its tunable workflow that offers researchers the flexibility to run large panels for hypothesis-free biomarker discovery and focused panels for high-throughput biomarker validation, all on a single system. This breakthrough capability simplifies the translation of spatial biomarker signatures onto the PhenoImager HT, a high-throughput platform that can process 300+ samples per week.
