Fully automated tissue staining and imaging for under €30k

Challenge

Research labs needed a fully automated cyclic immunohistochemistry pipeline that could handle sample staining, washing, imaging, and analysis without manual intervention — at a fraction of the cost of commercial alternatives.

Solution

StainSTORM combines the openUC2 FRAME microscope with an Opentrons OT-2 liquid handler to create a fully automated cyclic immunohistochemistry pipeline. The system handles sample staining, washing, imaging, and analysis without manual intervention — enabling reproducible, decentralized cancer diagnostics across laboratories.
