Frequently asked questions about this study

What is the paper’s main contribution? It demonstrates how high-plex fluorescent labelling combined with spectral unmixing can phenotype diverse cell populations inside tumor microenvironments, going beyond simple marker presence to resolve overlapping signals in complex tissue.

How did the EVOS S1000 enable this phenotyping? The EVOS S1000’s built-in spectral multiplexing and unmixing capabilities let researchers separate closely overlapping fluorophores on tissue sections, which is exactly the capability needed to turn densely labelled tumor microenvironment samples into cleanly resolved cell phenotypes.

a high-throughput imaging and quantification pipeline for the EVOS imaging platform

2020 PLOS One methods article presenting a high-throughput imaging and quantification pipeline built around the EVOS imaging platform.
