Bio-Techne announced the expansion of its COMET™ spatial biology portfolio with the launch of new SPYRE™ Focus Panels and SPYRE™ Amplification Kits, further strengthening the modular and automated COMET™ spatial biology workflow. These new solutions provide researchers with greater flexibility, enhanced sensitivity, and deeper biological insights from complex tissue samples.

The newly introduced SPYRE™ Focus Panels, including Stroma and Vessel-focused panels, are designed to support more targeted spatial biology applications. Featuring pre-validated antibodies and ready-to-use protocols, the panels help reduce multiplex assay optimization time while maintaining the flexibility to incorporate antibodies from researchers’ own libraries.

In addition, SPYRE™ Amplification Kits utilize seqLA™ (sequential layered amplification) technology to improve the detection of low-abundance and difficult-to-detect targets, enabling higher sensitivity and improved spatial proteomics data quality.

To support these advancements, Bio-Techne has also introduced new enhancements to HORIZON™ Image Analysis Software, optimized for COMET hyperplex imaging workflows using SPYRE™ tools, helping streamline tissue analysis from image acquisition to interpretation.

Steve Crouse, President of Bio-Techne’s Diagnostics and Spatial Biology Segment, commented:

“Researchers need tools that make it easier to extract meaningful answers from complex tissue samples. SPYRE™ Focus Panels and Amplification Kits reflect Bio-Techne’s continued innovation and commitment to delivering flexible, faster, and higher sensitivity workflows that enable deeper insights with greater confidence.”

Prof. Joanne Edwards, Professor of Translational Cancer Pathology at the University of Glasgow, added:

“Utilizing the pre-optimized SPYRE™ panel has not only increased the capacity of conventional multiplex immunofluorescence but also enabled a one-day experimental workflow. The COMET™ workflow is straightforward and flexible, allowing us to integrate our own antibodies while simultaneously investigating tumor and microenvironment cells within the same sample.”

With the addition of SPYRE™ Focus Panels and SPYRE™ Amplification Kits, Bio-Techne continues to build a fully integrated, modular, and automated spatial biology ecosystem that accelerates research and preclinical therapeutic development while empowering researchers to generate richer data and deeper biological understanding from every tissue sample.

As the authorized Bio-Techne distributor in Taiwan, HongJin Co., Ltd. continues to support local researchers by providing advanced spatial biology and multiplex immunofluorescence solutions, including the COMET™ platform, SPYRE™ product portfolio, and related technical support for cancer research, tumor microenvironment studies, and translational medicine applications.
