Ultivue Announces Co-Marketing Agreement with Fluidigm for Biomarker Imaging Solutions for Precision Medicine
Ultivue, Inc. and Fluidigm Corporation (Nasdaq:FLDM) today announced a co-marketing agreement in which the companies will offer customers a comprehensive portfolio of workflow solutions for biomarker discovery and drug development.
Ultivue, a leader in advancing precision medicine solutions by accelerating tissue biomarker discovery and validation develops unique assays for use in multiplex immunofluorescence imaging and analysis. Its proprietary InSituPlex® technology is designed for fast and comprehensive exploration of biologically-relevant markers combined with same slide-H&E analysis in precious tissue samples.
Fluidigm is a leader in high-parameter imaging for the clinical translational research and clinical testing markets. It’s Imaging Mass Cytometry™ (IMC™) technology is designed for highly multiplexed targeted interrogation of tissue sections for 40 or more protein markers in one scan, with distinct non-overlapping signals from element-labeled antibodies detected simultaneously for each sub-micrometer pixel.
The collaboration provides reseachers with end-to-end service capability for clinical and translational work. For example, InSituPlex technology is well suited to identify regions of interest that may require downstream, deep profiling with IMC™. Customer access to both technologies can improve the efficiency of drug discovery programs and, in translational research, enable patient stratification to triage cases that require further investigation.
“Imaging Mass Cytometry has become integral to the clinical translational research and clinical testing markets,” said Chris Linthwaite, Fluidigm President and CEO. “Through Fluidigm Therapeutic Insights Services, we will offer our customers access to our technology as well as that of Ultivue, providing optimum imaging solutions for biomarker discovery and drug development.”
“Ultivue is at the forefront of innovation to provide unique biological insights for our customers,” said Mark Rees, Vice-President of Business Development at Ultivue. “Our InSituPlex® technology offers valuable profiling of the tissue and expands the depth of information possible from a single section that is complementary to the high-parameter capabilities of Imaging Mass Cytometry. We believe this joint offering with Fluidigm will now provide researchers a seamless workflow enabling a far more efficient biomarker discovery and drug development process.”

France Expands National AAC Access for Agenus' Botensilimab + Balstilimab for Ovarian Cancer and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas12.1.2026 14:30:00 EET | Press release
Agenus Inc. (Nasdaq: AGEN), a leader in immuno-oncology innovation, today announced that France’s National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) has approved an updated national treatment protocol for botensilimab (BOT) plus balstilimab (BAL) under France’s Autorisation d’Accès Compassionnel (AAC) framework. The updated protocol expands France’s previously granted AAC authorization for BOT+BAL in patients with microsatellite-stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) without active liver metastases to eligible patients with certain ovarian cancers and soft-tissue sarcomas—diseases with substantial unmet medical need after standard options have been exhausted. The revised protocol is designed to broaden the eligibility criteria, allowing more patients with advanced solid tumors to have early access to BOT+BAL under reimbursed compassionate use, and to enhance monitoring and treatment procedures in participating hospitals. BOT+BAL is a chemotherapy- and radiation-f
Cellares Expands Global Smart Factory Network With European Headquarters in the Netherlands12.1.2026 14:30:00 EET | Press release
Cellares, the first Integrated Development and Manufacturing Organization (IDMO), today announced it has secured a site and signed a long-term lease for a new IDMO Smart Factory at Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP) with Dura Vermeer Commercieel Vastgoed. The facility will serve as Cellares’ European headquarters and expand the company’s global manufacturing network with dedicated regional capacity. Cell therapy manufacturing is patient-specific and time-sensitive, making regional production capacity increasingly important as programs advance from clinical development toward commercial supply. The new Netherlands hub is designed to provide European drug developers with access to automated manufacturing infrastructure, while maintaining alignment to a common production standard across Cellares’ global facilities. The leased premises comprise approximately 9,741 square meters (about 105,000 square feet LFA) of laboratory and office space within the Nexus building in Leiden, a newly construct
Lilac and Traxys Announce Binding 10-Year Offtake Agreement for Great Salt Lake Lithium Production12.1.2026 14:00:00 EET | Press release
Lilac Solutions, a leading provider of direct lithium extraction technology, and Traxys North America, a leading global physical trader and merchant in metals and natural resources, today announced a binding 10-year offtake agreement for lithium carbonate produced at Lilac's Great Salt Lake facility in Utah. The agreement represents a major milestone in advancing the project toward construction and establishes a clear commercial pathway for one of the nearest-term domestic lithium projects in the United States. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Traxys will purchase 50,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate over a 10-year period, representing 100% of the planned Phase 1 production capacity. The agreement is take-or-pay, with agreed pricing mechanisms linked to market indices. The Great Salt Lake Phase 1 facility is designed to produce 5,000 tonnes per annum of battery-grade lithium carbonate, which would nearly double current U.S. lithium carbonate production. The project leverages

Ant International Partners with Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol to Expand AI Capabilities12.1.2026 03:15:00 EET | Press release
Ant International, a leading global payment, digitisation, and financial technology provider, is collaborating on the launch of Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), a new open standard for agentic commerce that works across the entire shopping journey — from discovery and buying to post-purchase support. UCP establishes a common language for agents and systems to operate together across consumer surfaces, businesses, and payment providers to enable commerce. So instead of requiring unique connections for every individual agent, UCP enables all agents to interact easily. UCP is built to work across verticals and is compatible with existing industry protocols like Agent2Agent (A2A), Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and Model Context Protocol (MCP). “For agentic commerce to scale, it’s critical for the industry to align on a common set of standards. We are proud to have Ant International endorse the Universal Commerce Protocol as the foundation for that future,” said Ashish Gupta, VP
