Our bodies’ natural disease-fighting capabilities just might lead to
new cancer therapy strategies
Many different cell types contribute to tumor growth. But phenotyping cells while maintaining
cellular spatial relationships and morphological context was nearly impossible – until
now. Our Phenoptics™ research solutions enable you to better understand the relationships
between immune and other cells in the tumor and its microenvironment –
in situ,
in intact
FFPE sections, in
context.
So you can visualize and identify biomarkers, leading to better
understanding of disease mechanisms and stratification of cases for translational research.
Phenoptics research solutions: We’re looking inside for the next big cancer breakthrough.

Discover a Better Measure of
Immune Cell Activation
Detect immune cell activation in real time
with Agilent Seahorse XF Technology
What are you missing by waiting hours for immune cell activation results? Agilent Seahorse
XF technology detects immune cell activation after stimulation by measuring discrete
changes in cellular bioenergetics in live cells, in real time. Rapid detection opens a window
to the earliest events of immune cell activation, enabling researchers to identify changes in
activation kinetics, magnitude of the response, and duration.
- Capture the earliest events of activation within minutes
- Modulate activation with integrated compound injection ports
- Investigate immune cell metabolism through standardized assays and software
