COMET™
Scalable hyperplexing
Unmatched hyperplex throughput with walk-away automation
- Perform a 20-plex on cohorts of 20 samples in just 1 week.
- Virtually unlimited plex level capability (perform multiple additional runs on the same slide).
- Slide in, OME-TIFF image out (with background already subtracted).
Rapid and flexible panel development using label-free antibodies
- Use standard, off-the-shelf, label-free primary antibodies. No conjugation or barcoding needed.
- Transfer your existing know-how of IHC / IF antibodies to your COMET™ library.
- Generate hyperplex protocols automatically in just a few clicks.
True reproducibility and tissue preservation
- Maximize reproducibility thanks to a fully automated workflow and precision microfluidics.
- Tissue morphology and epitope stability are fully preserved for downstream applications.
- Avoid undesired variability thanks to no upstream antibody conjugations.
Hyperplex workflow without user intervention
A fully integrated system across staining, image acquisition and image pre-processing.
The Lunaphore COMET™ system has enabled us to perform highly-multiplexed imaging of entire cross sections of mouse hearts with sub-cellular resolution. The flexible panel design accelerated antibody validation and measurements so that we can already perform spatial analysis of the heart at scale.

Using COMET™ means that we don’t need to conjugate or do anything to our primary antibodies, and for us this is important as we have a lot of in-house generated antibodies that we would like to apply.

-
Reagents Module
Reagents and buffers are loaded in small and large volume reservoirs respectively and delivered to the sample through microfluidic channels.
Close -
Staining Module
Rotary stage where up to four slides are inserted and clamped against the COMET™ Chip. Its unique design allows for staining and imaging parallelization.
Close -
Image Viewer
Following image acquisition, the Viewer can open the resulting image files. The software facilitates visualization and exports the data for image analysis.

Fully automated multiomics on COMET™
Perform true spatial multiomics assays, simultaneously detecting any RNA and protein targets on the same tissue section using RNAscope™ HiPlex Pro and off-the-shelf, non-conjugated primary antibodies, with subcellular resolution.
A fully automated workflow from target probe hybridization to multiomic imaging, requiring no user intervention, facilitates a deeper understanding of cellular processes and disease mechanisms.
Kick-start your assay development
Run your custom hyperplex panels in days. Kick-start your assay development using the SPYRE™ Antibody Panels:
- T Cell Core Panel
- TIL Core Panel
- Immune Core Panel
- Immuno-Oncology Core Panel
Use the Panel Builder to build ready-to-use protocols in a few clicks, and customize your assays.
Make every marker count
Amplify the signal of low-expressed or hard-to-detect markers with SPYRE™ Signal Amplification Kit. The kit provides the high-sensitivity detection you need without compromising on accuracy.
Analyze your images
Choose your preferred Image Analysis platform for your image.
COMET™ is fully integrated with HORIZON™ by Lunaphore: an entry intuitive tool to start your hyperplex image analysis journey with no coding experience.
COMET™ has proven compatibility with Oncotopix® Discovery (Visiopharm), HALO® & HALO AI™ (Indica Labs), Nucleai AI-powered Solutions and QuPath.
