Problem
Traditional multicolor fluorescence microscopy and multiplex immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods are complex, time-consuming, and often require specialized expertise. Antibody aggregation and spectral bleed-through can limit the accuracy and efficiency of analysis in biotechnology and research settings.
Solution
Kromnigon develops innovative tools that simplify multicolor fluorescence microscopy and multiplex IHC, enabling more accurate and efficient analysis. The company's core technology, StreptaClick®, is a modified streptavidin molecule optimized for pre-mixing with biotinylated antibodies, preventing antibody aggregation and enhancing multiplexing capabilities. Kromnigon's SpectraSplit® 7 filter sets empower fluorescence microscopes with seven color channels, generating clean, sharp images without spectral unmixing. These technologies streamline the immunostaining process, reduce the need for specialized expertise, and improve the reliability of results.
Target Audience
Kromnigon's products are designed for biotechnology firms, clinical laboratories, and research institutions seeking to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of multicolor fluorescence microscopy and multiplex IHC.
