Fluidigm to Unveil High-Parameter Tissue Imaging S

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluidigm Corporation (NASDAQ: FLDM ) today announced that it will unveil a commercially available system for high-parameter tissue imaging on Tuesday, October 24, 2017, via a global livestream video.

This new imaging system significantly expands the number of protein biomarkers that can be simultaneously detected from tissues and tumors as compared to results from standard fluorescent immunohistochemistry methods. With the potential to revolutionize disease research and change the way diseases are treated and ultimately cured in the future, this new approach provides researchers with an unprecedented view of complex cellular phenotypes and their relationships in the context of the tissue microenvironment.

We invite our colleagues from across the life science industry to join us online at  fluidigm.com/futureofimaging for a unique view into the potential of this new technology on Tuesday, October 24, 2017, at 7:00 a.m. PT (10:00 a.m. ET).
