Inauguration Ceremony of the COMETTM
đź“· Throwback in pictures
On Monday, February 24, the CHICS core facility, in partnership with Lunaphore Technologies, organized a special seminar to mark the installation of the COMET™ at the Centre de Recherche des Cordeliers.
The inauguration day concluded with the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by the Director of the Center, Pr. Jessica Zucman-Rossi.
The COMET™ pushes the boundaries of multiplex imaging with unmatched throughput and full automation. Thanks to its advanced technology, it allows labeling and imaging of up to 40 proteins in the same sample, with up to 4 samples per experiment, in 48 to 72 hours, while ensuring excellent tissue preservation.
Its main advantage? A flexible approach that relies on standard antibodies, without prior labeling, making it easy to use and compatible with existing IHC and IF protocols.
This new technology opens up exciting new perspectives for tissue exploration in physiopathology.
” The COMET opens a new era of research in spatial biology at the CRC.”
This event was a great success, bringing together numerous participants eager to discover the Lunaphore COMET™ and discuss its applications. Several presentations enriched the event, shedding light on scientific advances and new research perspectives enabled by this groundbreaking technology. The discussions were lively and engaging, reflecting the scientific community’s enthusiasm and interest.
