Spatial Biology Imaging for Immunotherapy

Integrated Metabolic Imaging and Immune Profiling on the Same Tissue Sample

Intek Scientific is developing FLEX, a next-generation spatial biology imaging platform that combines label-free metabolic imaging, highly multiplexed immune biomarker profiling, and digital autofluorescence-free imaging to support immunotherapy research, translational studies, and precision medicine.

Metabolic Imaging Label-free tissue state analysis

Immune Profiling Multiplexed single-cell spatial insight

Why FLEX

A Deeper View of the Tumor Microenvironment

Immunotherapy response is shaped by both immune cell behavior and the metabolic state of the tissue microenvironment. FLEX enables researchers to analyze immune phenotypes, biomarker expression, spatial organization, and metabolic signatures from the same biological sample.

Integrated Metabolic + Immune Profiling

Captures metabolic imaging and multiplexed immune biomarker data from the same tissue section
Enables multidimensional analysis of tumor-immune interactions
Supports biomarker discovery and therapeutic response assessment

Highly Multiplexed Biomarker Imaging

Detects up to 12 biomarkers in a single imaging cycle
Designed for immune profiling within the tumor microenvironment
Provides high-resolution spatial biology insights at single-cell scale

Digital Autofluorescence-Free Imaging

Digitally removes tissue autofluorescence without harsh bleaching
Preserves fragile and low-abundance biomarkers
Maintains antigen integrity for reliable quantitative data
