CyTOF – Next Generation Flow Cytometry and Spatial Biology

Can your Flow Cytometer analyse 50+ targets in a single tube easily?

CyTOF overcomes the limitations of fluorescence-based detection systems by separating signals based on differences in isotope mass, which has negligible signal overlap. This allows for:

-Simultaneous detection of 50+ targets in a single tube

-Sample barcoding capability to reduce the sample input requirement and decrease the tube-to-tube variation

-Rare cell population discovery

-No auto-fluorescence

-Extremely easy to design/re-design the panel as there is no compensation required

-Stained and fixed samples remain stable for >3 months

-Metal Conjugation kits for versatile choice of Antibodies

-Dual-mode available, catering the needs of having flow cytometry and spatial profiling research in one platform

Can you analyze 40+ markers in a single scan of IHC?

Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) substitutes fluorescent signals with metal tags, allowing simultaneous detection of more than 40 distinct signals

– 40+ Markers

– No auto-fluorescence

– Single-Cell Resolution
