This seminar will introduce researchers to the applications and capabilities of Miltenyi Biotec’s MACSima Imaging Platform, a high‑plex spatial biology system based on MICS technology. 

MICS is a cyclic immunofluorescence method (staining-imaging-signal removing) that enables ultra‑high‑plex protein imaging on a single sample, allowing dozens to hundreds of markers to be visualized with high spatial resolution while preserving tissue integrity.

In this seminar, an overview of the instrument’s components and workflow will be presented, as well as practical guidelines to optimize experimental output. The session will also highlight key scientific publications and showcase a real use case of MACSima implemented at VHIR. A final Q&A will allow attendees to discuss specific projects or technical questions.

This equipment will be placed at VHIR as a temporary transfer, managed by the Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation Group
