Akoya Biosciences (Quanterix)
Spatial proteomics (PhenoCycler, PhenoImager) used to map immune cells in tumours; acquired by Quanterix in July 2025.
Overview
Akoya Biosciences, based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and formerly listed as AKYA, makes spatial proteomics instruments, PhenoCycler and PhenoImager, used to map immune cells in tumours, and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Quanterix on 8 July 2025. Its multiplex immunofluorescence runs at scale, and clinical partnerships aim at spatial signatures that predict immunotherapy response. OnCo links it to spatial biology instruments. Whether a spatial immune signature can be validated as a companion diagnostic for immunotherapy, which is the promise behind the whole sector, is the open question. The spatial biology instruments page carries the wider field.

Notes
- Checked 29 October 2026 against Quanterix's quarterly report for the period ended 30 September 2025 (SEC), which states the Akoya Closing Date as 8 July 2025 and Akoya surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary. akoyabio.com now redirects to quanterix.com, where the PhenoCycler and PhenoImager instruments are sold under the Akoya name, so the website field points to the acquirer.
