FAQ Autiva

Show answer What is Autiva Spatial Phenotyper?

Autiva Spatial Phenotyper is an end-to-end spatial biology workflow that integrates staining chemistry, image acquisition, and data analysis into one consistent platform for scientific work across academic and pharma research laboratories. It combines automated imaging with microfluidic-driven reagent cycling to help users move from sample preparation through iterative multiplex imaging and analysis with minimal manual intervention.

Show answer What type of research is Autiva Spatial Phenotyper intended for?

Autiva Spatial Phenotyper is intended for use in both academic and pharmaceutical research settings. It is designated for Research Use Only (RUO).

Show answer How does Autiva Spatial Phenotyper support walk-away spatial biology workflows?

The system supports walk-away execution of high-plex experiments, including automated cyclic staining and imaging workflows. After setup, users can run automated multi-cycle staining and imaging over multiple days, reducing the need for repeated manual interaction.

Show answer Can Autiva Spatial Phenotyper automate cyclic staining and de-staining?

Yes. The system is designed to execute cyclic staining and de-staining workflows and supports automated cyclic staining and de-staining operations, enabling reproducible multi-cycle experimental workflows with reduced manual interaction.

Show answer How does the system help with sample setup and ROI selection?

The system automatically detects samples and identifies regions of interest, minimizing manual setup and improving workflow efficiency.

Show answer How many slides can Autiva Spatial Phenotyper process?

Autiva Spatial Phenotyper supports experiments with one to four slides, enabling users to scale from pilot studies to larger experiments without changing platform configuration.

Show answer What imaging area can be covered per slide?

The system enables whole-slide imaging over an area of 25 × 17 mm per slide, supporting comprehensive analysis of large tissue sections.

Show answer How long does it take to image 60 biomarkers?

For high-throughput workflows, the system can complete staining, imaging, and processing of four tissue samples measuring 15 × 15 mm with 60 biomarkers each within 48 hours. For single-slide workflows, the system can image and process a full tissue slide measuring 15 × 15 mm with 20-plex within 8 hours, excluding staining.

Show answer How does Autiva Spatial Phenotyper help reduce reagent use?

The system supports antibody volumes of 220–250 µL and is designed to minimize reagent waste with dead volumes below 1% per well, supporting efficient use of high cost consumables.

Show answer Can reagents be replenished during a run?

Yes. The system allows reagent replenishment during operation, which supports uninterrupted execution of large-scale experiments such as workflows above 60 biomarkers.

Show answer How does the system protect reagent integrity?

The system maintains reagents within specified temperature ranges from 4°C to 40°C and protects them from contamination, evaporation, and light exposure, helping preserve reagent integrity throughout experiments.

Show answer Does the workflow preserve sample integrity?

The system preserves sample integrity with less than 1% degradation after high-plex experiments, supporting reliable downstream analyses.

Show answer What imaging quality features are included?

The system supports THUNDER imaging functionality in 2D to help enhance signal-to-noise ratio and improve image quality for advanced biological analysis. It also includes calibration and quality control mechanisms for robust imaging performance.

Show answer Does Autiva Spatial Phenotyper support cellular and subcellular spatial profiling?

Yes. The systems enables imaging at cellular resolution for accurate cell-level profiling and subcellular resolution for visualizing structures such as nuclei, membranes with high spatial precision.

Show answer How does Autiva Spatial Phenotyper support ATTOAuriga panels?

Users can select pre-defined biomarker panels for use during protocol creation. Once panels are selected, panel information can be pre-populated into the protocol publisher tools, including biomarkers assigned to rounds and channels, exposure times, and the channel used for nuclear identification.

Show answer Can the system support workflows beyond ATTOAuriga?

The fluidics system is designed to enable a variety of fluidics-based research workflows beyond ATTOAuriga. While the underlying pump performance is validated, users are responsible for developing and validating any custom protocols.
