Benefits of EVOS S1000 Imaging System spectral unmixing technology

The EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System software facilitates spectral unmixing, a process used to resolve signals from fluorophores with significant spectral overlap, enabling higher multiplexing than conventional fluorescence microscopy by eliminating the need for spectrally distinct fluorophores (Figure 4).

Graph of emission spectra of 9 Alexa Fluor Plus dyes

Figure 4: Example of spectral emissions of multiple dyes. This spectra show emissions of 8 Alexa Fluor Plus dyes + DAPI. The emission spectra of multiple dyes overlap and makes it difficult to detect true signals from background noise without unmixing software.

This unmixing process leverages unique spectral signatures from each fluorophore to determine the abundance of different signal inputs at each pixel, allowing for precise identification and mapping of various fluorophores within an imaged sample. For the algorithm to function effectively, reference spectra are required to extract the spectrum of each fluorophore, which can be obtained using either predicted spectra (default) or measured spectra through careful preparation of single-color controls. Additionally, an unstained sample is necessary to define the tissue's autofluorescence, which is extracted as an independent spectral signature alongside the fluorophores used in the experiment.

Once all these components are collected, the EVOS S1000 software generates and saves the unmixing matrix to the imaging protocol (Figure 5).

Figure 5: The EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System generates multiplexed data through its spectral unmixing capabilities. This software feature allows researchers to easily visualize all channels simultaneously and provides a quality metrics report to facilitate highly resolved data.

An Unmixing Quality Metric Report enables the evaluation of the experimental panel before time is spent imaging full tissue scans (Figure 6). This report provides guidance and metrics demonstrating that the bleed through from spectrally overlapping markers will be removed after the unmixing protocol is applied to spectrally mixed multiplex tissue samples.

Figure 6. Visualization of the raw images (left) and unmixed images (right) for each single-color control sample, displayed in each column, across the primary channels shown in each row.

The resulting data from the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging spectral unmixing software provides a high-resolution image (Figure 7).

Sample stained tissue data of raw and unmixed images

Figure 7. Human tonsil processed and stained with the Aluora Spatial Rainbow Kit (Cat. No. A40002450) raw (mixed, left) and processed (unmixed, right).

Observe similar staining of structures in the raw channels capturing Aluora 488, Aluora 514, and Aluora 555 dyes, and also Aluora 647 and Aluora 700 dyes due to the overlap of emission spectra. Automated processing (spectral unmixing) of this image with the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging software allows for the distinct staining across each channel to be revealed in unmixed images. The resulting composite image is more defined and useful for quantitative imaging. Primary antibodies to each target were detected with Aluora spatial amplification dyes including: Aluora 488 dye with antibody targeting vimentin (blue), Aluora 514 dye with antibody targeting eCadherin (red), Aluora 555 dye with antibody targeting PD1 (orange), Aluora 594 dye with antibody targeting CD31 (cyan), Aluora 647 dye with antibody targeting CD3 (green), Aluora 700 dye with antibody targeting CD163 (magenta), Aluora 750 dye with antibody targeting SMA (white). Tissues were imaged on the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System.

Human invasive ductal carcinoma of breast tissue processed and stained with the Aluora Spatial Rainbow Kit (Cat. No. A40002450). Images and spectral unmixing were performed on the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System. Data was analyzed for single cell segmentation and phenotyping to reveal spatial distribution of immune cell subpopulations. Analysis of the multiplex immunofluorescence stitched image was performed on the Indica Labs HALO (version 4.0.5107.318) software.

Simplified tissue imaging workflow

Unlike existing technologies that can take several days to weeks, the EVOS S1000 instrument can complete the imaging process within several hours, with the greatest time savings found in its capability to generate a fully stitched, unmixed, multiplexed image for multiple samples. With the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System, you have the flexibility to use a variety of labeling technologies, allowing you to select and utilize your preferred antibodies and reagents. The instrument outputs OME-TIFF files that are compatible with any third-party analysis software such as Halo and QuPath (QuPath: Open source software for digial pathology image analysis. Scientific Reports (2017).)

To build a panel for the EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging system, start by choosing your targets, ensuring they align with your research goals. Next, create the panel by carefully picking out antibodies; use the Invitrogen SpectraViewer to determine where to place the 8 fluorophores labeling the antibodies plus DAPI. For the staining and labeling technology, use our Spatial Biology Reagent Selection Tool to chose what is right for your experiment. Finally, proceed with the imaging step to capture and analyze your samples.

Reduce the chance for tissue damage

Prevent extensive tissue damage. Iterative staining using bleaching or antibody-removal methods extends experimental time due to lengthy antibody and reagent incubations, and poses risks of epitope loss, tissue degradation, and incomplete fluorophore inactivation across multiple cycles.
