COMET™ will be for Research Use Only.
Pilot units soon available through Priority Access Program.
COMET™ integrates the staining and imaging steps to avoid instrument manipulation during the entire process.
COMET™ is designed to satisfy researchers' flexibility needs and works with off-the-shelf, label-free antibodies. As simple as that.
With a capacity for 4 slides, and average turnaround times of 30 minutes every 2 markers, COMET™ is a unique mid-throughput instrument powered by the speed of microfluidics.
24 markers on tonsil tissue. Total experiment time: 5h
The key innovation lies in Lunaphore’s unique microfluidic technology – called Fast Fluidic Exchange (FFeX) – where a chip clamped over a standard histological glass slide forms a closed chamber of reaction over the tissue. This allows fast and uniform delivery of reagents, greatly reducing the incubation times.
The chip’s imaging window allows to integrate staining and imaging, avoiding sample manipulation in between steps.

Reagents and buffers are loaded in small and large volume reservoirs respectively and delivered to the sample through microfluidic channels.
CloseRotary stage where up to four slides are inserted and clamped against the Imaging Chip. Its unique design allows for staining and imaging parallelization.

Our sequential immunofluorescence assay consists of repeated cycles of staining, imaging, and elution.
The acquired images are later automatically stitched and stacked together by the instrument software.
