Revolune and Concept Life Sciences Partner to Help Customers Transition Multiplex IF Assays to Flexible New Workflows

Concept Life Sciences and Revolune are partnering to help biopharma and life sciences customers reassess, transfer, and scale multiplex immunofluorescence (IF) assays using Revolune’s flexible staining technology, which now supports 4- to 7-plex assays.

The collaboration addresses a growing market need as customers evaluate alternatives to existing workflows and reconsider how best to support tissue biomarker research. With Revolune now offering 4- to 7-plex assay capabilities, we can help customers transfer established assays onto the Revolune platform, preserve valuable panel know-how, and move more easily from existing workflows to flexible, ready-to-use multiplex formats.

“Many customers are not starting from a blank page — they already have assays, panels, and tissue biomarker strategies they need to preserve while moving toward more flexible workflows. Concept Life Sciences brings the translational biology, biomarker, and assay development expertise needed to help customers make that transition practically and confidently.”
Adrian Arechiga, CCO of Revolune

We offer integrated capabilities across discovery, development, analytical services, translational biology, biomarker discovery, spatial biology and end-to-end chemistry. Combined with Revolune’s adaptable multiplex IF technology, customers can access decision-ready tissue biomarker insights while reducing the operational burden of assay transfer and implementation.

The partnership is designed for research teams that want to retain the scientific value of existing workflows while gaining access to a more flexible platform for multiplex staining. Customers can work with Concept Life Sciences to evaluate assay transfer feasibility, optimize panel design, run tissue staining workflows, and connect resulting biomarker data to broader discovery and development programs.

“We are excited to work with Revolune to support customers who are rethinking how they approach multiplex tissue analysis. Together, we can help teams transfer existing assays, explore new panels, and apply multiplex immunofluorescence in ways that support meaningful translational decisions.”
Adam Davenport, CSO at Concept Life Sciences
