The PhenoCycler-Fusion System by Akoya BioSciences enables spatial ultra-high-plex phenotyping of entire slides with single-cell resolution through automated fluidics and iterative imaging. The automated cycling and image capture are facilitated by the integration of flow cells placed in a slide holder. This allows the detection of over 100 markers on a single intact tissue. This device is operated by the Core Facility and is not independently operated by users.
