Standard detection
AstraTSA
- 10-100x improvement in fluorescence signal sensitivity
- Minimizes autofluorescence
- Reduces antibody (Ab) usage to one-fifth of conventional levels
- Enables simultaneous use of multiple markers
- Compatible with signal amplification across all immunoassays
- Supports both chromogenic and fluorescent labeled probes
TSA-Based Kit
- Following the development of TSA dyes, 12 spectrally distinct fluorescent TSA dyes were produced.
- Commercialized staining kits configured in 4-plex, 7-plex, 9-plex, and 12-plex formats using fully validated panels.
- Achieved over 70% in-house integration through proprietary reagent production.
- Designed for broad compatibility, enabling easy adoption in laboratories equipped with fluorescence microscopes.
- Developed autofluorescence removal kits and preprocessing kits for skin cancer fluorescence staining.
An automated staining system (NovaStain™) that saves researchers' time and enhances result reliability
AstraNavi provides an automated tissue staining system optimized for TSA-MIF, based on continuous user feedback.
Temperature Control
Precise thermal management for optimal staining
Fluidic Control
Automated reagent delivery and circulation
User Environment
Optimized workflow for laboratory efficiency
Eliminating Key Workflow Bottlenecks, Achieving Complete Standardization of Staining
Challenges1. Operator Dependency
Variability in results increases based on user skill level
2. Lack of Standardization
High variability across laboratories and operators
3. High Failure Rates and Costs
Loss of valuable samples and expensive reagents
* Standardizing the staining process determines up to 50% of overall data quality.
By controlling variables in the staining process, we ensure reliable data across the entire workflow
Our Solution1. Automated Reproducibility
Automation of multiplex staining processes eliminates user-to-user variability
2. Software-Driven Quality Control
Ensures consistency through real-time process control and monitoring
3. End-to-End Integration
Enhances overall quality through seamless connection with downstream analysis
Compared to competitors, delivers higher detection sensitivity, faster processing time, and multiplexing capability—while maintaining strong cost competitiveness
