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.
