Immuno-Oncology: Leveraging the Immune System to Fight Cancer
OLS provides advanced technologies that reveal immune–tumor interactions with unmatched clarity
Immuno-Oncology focuses on empowering the body’s own immune system to prevent, control, and eliminate cancer. By educating and activating immune cells to recognize and attack tumor cells - and by lifting negative regulatory mechanisms - Immuno-Oncology has become one of the fastest-growing and most impactful fields in biomedical research.
As “Your Partner in Cell Research” we support your scientific work with cutting-edge technologies that provide dynamic, high-resolution insights into immune responses, tumor biology, and therapeutic mechanisms.
Real Time Cell Analysis (RTCA)
See immune responses as they happen
Understanding how immune and tumor cells behave over time is essential for modern immunotherapy development. Instead of relying on static endpoint measurements, Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) delivers continuous, label-free data that reveal the complete kinetic profile of cellular interactions.
With minimal hands-on time, xCELLigence RTCA technology allows researchers to monitor even the smallest changes in growth dynamics, cellular adhesion and invasive behaviour, delivering deep biological insight without staining, labels, or complex assay preparation. This makes xCELLigence RTCA ideal for:
- CAR-T and NK-cell cytotoxicity
- Tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion
- Drug and compound profiling
- Viral vector development and optimization
- Oncolytic virus research
OLS helps both new and experienced users i n seamlessly integrating xCELLigence RTCA smoothly into their immunotherapy workflows.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometry has evolved dramatically over the past decades and has become an indispensable technology in immuno-oncology research. It is fundamental to modern cancer immunotherapy, supporting everything from T-cell engineering and immune checkpoint analysis to drug distribution studies and immune cell activation profiling.
High-performance flow cytometry for immuno-oncology
High-performance flow cytometry is essential for immuno-oncology, enabling fast, sensitive, and precise detection across complex immune cell landscapes. NovoCyte Flow Cytometers provide the capability to analyze up to 30 fluorescent colors, making high-dimensional immune profiling both straightforward and highly reproducible. These high-throughput instruments empower researchers to identify key cell populations, assess therapeutic efficacy, and perform detailed analyses of antibodies, proteins, and small molecules with confidence.
NovoCyte Penteon Flow Cytometer
NovoCyte Opteon: next-generation spectral flow cytometry
With the introduction of the NovoCyte Opteon, researchers can now explore the immune system with unprecedented depth. Featuring up to 73 fluorescence detectors, the Opteon enables highly dimensional panels and advanced spectral unmixing - ideal for dissecting the full complexity of immune cell diversity. Its high level of automation and robust regulatory features make it exceptionally well suited for clinical trials, pharmaceutical development, and biotech applications.
Cell Counting & Analysis
High-precision, label-free cell analysis from OLS
High-demand fields, such as immuno-oncology, require technologies that deliver fast, reliable, and highly sensitive cellular insights. For this purpose, OLS provides the CASY Cell Counter and Analyzer, engineered for unmatched precision and ease of use.
CASY uses a sensitive electrode and a highly calibrated capillary to measure the electrical resistance of each individual cell, generating an accurate distribution of cell volumes. This approach allows researchers to quickly determine:
- Cell number and viability
- Cell size distribution
- Cell volume
- Population shifts
- T-Cell Activation
CASYvivo Cell Counter and Analyzer
The CASY allows for easy and precise analysis of both immune and tumor cells. Researchers can simultaneously quantify proliferation rates, developmental stages, and viral infection effects without the need for staining or time-consuming sample preparation.
Designed for efficiency and reliability, CASYvivo delivers rapid, reproducible, and label-free results, making it an ideal solution for modern immuno-oncology workflows.
