PaintScape in situ single cell chromosome traces from the 419-plex ChromoPaint HuCL PanChromo MPX panel
At AACR 2026, Bruker Spatial Biology will launch new cross‑platform workflows linking GeoMx® DSP to
These announcements build upon the major spatial biology milestones Bruker introduced earlier this year at the AGBT General Meeting, where the company demonstrated a portfolio engineered for high-fidelity performance within each omic layer. Together, these advances reflect Bruker Spatial Biology’s long‑standing approach: advancing each platform to be best‑in‑class individually, while consistently being first to demonstrate what is possible when spatial data is captured with unmatched depth, resolution, and fidelity—and connected across biological layers.
PaintScape Now Open for Pre‑Orders with
With the PaintScape™ platform, Bruker is the only company enabling high‑precision, multiplexed, direct visualization of the 3D genome in situ in single cells. PaintScape enables researchers to study chromosomal architecture, spatial genome organization, and structural variation directly within intact biological context, opening new avenues for understanding how genome structure influences gene regulation and disease.
Bruker will launch two new panels for the PaintScape platform, including the ChromoPaint™ HuCL PanChromo MPX panel, a 419-plex panel designed for genome wide in situ visualization of chromosomal organization in human cell lines. In addition, Bruker will announce the OncoPaint™ Oncogenic Pathways Panels that will be available later this year, a 1000+-plex modular panel designed to combine genome wide chromosome painting with painting of select cancer pathway associated gene regions in increased genomic resolution.
Commercial shipments of the PaintScape platform are expected to begin later this quarter.
Introducing CellScape XR, the Highest Performing Spatial Proteomics Ecosystem Delivering Best-in-Class Data Fidelity, Robustness and Flexibility
The CellScape XR launch at AGBT represents Bruker’s next-generation advancement in spatial proteomics and introduces what is now the highest fidelity spatial proteomics platform, designed to deliver best‑in‑class data quality, robustness, and assay flexibility.
At AACR, Bruker Spatial Biology will showcase new 208‑plex spatial proteomics datasets, in collaboration with
Bruker is accepting pre-orders for the CellScape XR, with commercial shipments expected this summer.
CosMx SMI Showcases and Extends Complete Spatial Biology Approach
Bruker has consistently been first to define what is possible with the CosMx SMI platform setting multiple best-in-class benchmarks—including both AI multimodal and 3D segmentation, subcellular spatial imaging of the human whole transcriptome (WTX), and same-cell multiomics (WTX and 64+ proteins). At AACR, Bruker Spatial Biology will showcase how these high fidelity, high sensitivity capabilities are expanding further—extending subcellular spatial imaging of the mouse whole transcriptome and highlighting emerging applications for studying human disease, such as T‑cell receptor (TCR) and miRNA imaging.
The AtoMx® SIP builds on the unparalleled data richness of CosMx SMI to accelerate study‑level insight generation and biological interpretation. At AACR, Bruker Spatial Biology will reinforce a new spatial discovery workflow with AtoMx SIP, enabling rapid, image‑based exploration of single‑cell and subcellular whole transcriptome datasets through pre‑calculated spatial insights and streamlined data exports designed for conversational large language model (LLM) workflows. Applying LLMs to the comprehensive, high fidelity spatial data generated by CosMx SMI enables richer, higher quality outputs than are possible with lower resolution or lower content approaches, delivering a more interactive and intuitive experience for biological discovery. In addition, Bruker Spatial Biology will showcase new 3D AI‑based cell segmentation models that extend its best‑in‑class definition of single‑cell boundaries, improving RNA transcript assignment in tissue and addressing long standing limitations of segmentation approaches that fail to account for overlapping cells.
Bruker is accepting pre-orders for the Mouse CosMx WTX.
GeoMx Discovery Multiomics Platform Showcases Unmatched Spatial Biomarker Discovery at Scale with Whole Transcriptome and 1200+ Protein Targets
With GeoMx DSP, Bruker was the first to establish spatial biology at discovery scale and has continued to lead by demonstrating what is possible from discovery through translational research and clinically oriented applications. GeoMx DSP was first to enable high‑plex, same‑slide whole transcriptome and protein multiomics, and later to demonstrate spatial proteomic profiling of more than 1,200 antibodies on tissue with the Discovery Proteome Atlas. At AACR, Bruker Spatial Biology will showcase how GeoMx DSP is the only spatial platform to now simultaneously connect RNA pathway, protein, and post-translational modification (PTMs) across different layers of biology. The breadth of this spatial multiomics data is now informing researchers of biological pathways that are both transcriptionally active and driving functional response. GeoMx DSP further anchors large cohort biomarker and signature discovery and now connects seamlessly to downstream validation and spatial phenotyping workflows with CellScape XR on the same tissue section.
In addition to its spatial biology portfolio, Bruker will present complementary solutions including the nCounter® Analysis System for bulk multiomics and the Beacon® Platform, including Beacon Discovery, supporting downstream translational workflows and functional live single‑cell biology.
