Spatial Biology CRO Services
Whether
you’re an academic pioneer or a global biotech leader, we deliver comprehensive,
end-to-end spatial biology solutions that prioritize your unique needs, ensuring
you never get lost in the shuffle. Because at Fortis, we believe that your
research deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach—it deserves a partner
who empowers you.
Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) is a powerful technique that allows researchers to simultaneously visualize and analyze multiple components of the tissue microenvironment. Multiplexing uses multiple antibodies with fluorescent detection to target specific proteins within the microenvironment, allowing researchers to create a detailed map of the various cells, proteins and their interactions. We offer both low plex and high plex options for mIF which allow you to profile tissues to determine cell phenotypes, their functional state, and cell interactions.
