Bio-Techne Announces Partnership with Lunaphore

Monday, April 17, 2023

Bio-Techne and Lunaphore announced a strategic partnership to develop the first fully automated spatial multiomics workflow with same-slide hyperplex detection of protein and RNA biomarkers.

Together with Lunaphore, brings the power of next-generation spatial multiomics to the research community with a fully automated and scalable end-to-end solution delivering robust performance. RNAscope™ has a very well-established place in spatial transcriptomics and the combination with Lunaphore's fully automated spatial proteomics capabilities will bring an unmatched solution to researchers.

Designed to provide ultimate flexibility in panel design, the solution will allow researchers to easily combine well-characterised antibodies with gold-standard RNAscope™ in situ hybridisation probes to illuminate changes in cell phenotypes and functional states across a wide range of diseases.

The fully automated multiomics solution will utilise Lunaphore's revolutionary multiplex sequential immunofluorescence (seqIF™) solution portfolio including the COMET™ instrument and SPYRE™ Antibody Panels to provide unmatched tissue morphology, scalability, and reproducibility. Ideal for translational and clinical research applications, the COMET™ easily fits within the standard histology workflow to enable hyperplex protein detection at single-cell and subcellular resolution, leveraging existing libraries of non-conjugated primary antibodies.
