Combining Ultivue’s mIF assays with the Olympus SLIDEVIEW™ VS200 research slide scanner provides a convenient, fast tool for whole slide mIF imaging in translational studies for researchers in academia, biotech, pharma and contract research organizations in the Americas. The collaboration builds on their existing partnership to meet the scientific community’s increasing need for fluorescent multiplexing.
Ultivue develops unique solutions for mIF applications, imaging and spatial phenomics. Its proprietary InSituPlex® technology enabling improved signal-to-noise data is designed for fast and comprehensive exploration of up to 12 biologically relevant targets in one tissue slide, with same-slide hematoxylin and eosin (H) analysis in tissue samples. This technology combines the power of computational pathology and spatial biology to guide translational science in immuno-oncology.
Evident Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympus Corporation, manufacturers leading-edge life science microscopes that support a broad range of academic and clinical research areas, pathology diagnostic services and the growing demand for novel drug discovery. The Olympus VS200 slide scanner has advanced the field of whole slide imaging with high-quality optics, fast scanning and flexible imaging options that include a robust solution for fluorescent multiplexing.
“We are excited to enhance our relationship with Evident to further optimize the integration of Ultivue assays on the SLIDEVIEW VS200 research slide scanner. We jointly enable highly efficient workflows to drive adoption of tissue multiplexing on larger cohorts,” said Florian Leiss, PhD, the Vice President of Product Strategy and Corporate Development at Ultivue.
“We are delighted to continue to collaborate with Ultivue to provide a total solution for multiplexing,” said Lee Wagstaff, the Vice President of Life Science Sales and Marketing at Evident Americas. “With Ultivue’s assays and our slide scanning technology, we can provide a complete workflow solution for our customers that enables them to work more efficiently.”

Eva Categories: News Tags: Announcement Comments 6640 Ultivue and ZEISS to Co-Market Complete Solution for Spatial PhenomicsUltivue VUE panels for multiplex immune-labeling offer endless options for researchers to characterize complex, tissue immune biology. With unprecedented signal-to-noise and options for pre-designed panels or customized panels, Ultivue solutions are designed to label tissues for in-depth data mining for spatial phenomics. The ZEISS Axioscan automated whole slide imager offers unparalleled fluorescence imaging and resolution of multiplex immuno-labeled samples. Fast and gentle imaging ensures high productivity with little to no sample damage. With this collaboration, Ultivue and ZEISS will offer researchers a faster time to results from tissue labeling to image acquisition through analysis.
“At Ultivue, we have successfully scanned thousands of tissue sections stained with our multiplex assays with the ZEISS Axioscan to serve our biopharma customers. High throughput, quality, and cost-efficiency are key characteristics of a scalable workflow for tissue multiplexing. We are excited to deepen our relationship with ZEISS to further optimize the interplay of Ultivue assays and ZEISS instruments,” said Jacques Corriveau President and CEO of Ultivue.
“Building on our six-year relationship, we are looking forward to a deeper level of collaboration with Ultivue to co-market our complete end-to-end workflow for spatial phenotyping from staining to imaging to analysis,” said Joseph Huff, Head of Marketing North America ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions.
