Mass
Cytometry
Mass cytometry, or cytometry by time-of-flight, enables greater comprehension to your research by letting you simultaneously measure more than independent 40 parameters from millions of cells.
We house a federally-funded research facility committed to basic, applied and clinical research, discovery and collaboration to academic, biotech and pharmaceutical
industries.
A key component of the facility is a CyTOF mass cytometer.

How mass cytometry works
Design high-dimensional proteomic panels with this interactive, web-based application that simplifies and optimizes panel design using metal-conjugated antibodies from the Fluidigm catalog and your custom conjugates.
Read MoreThe catalog contains over 400 metal-conjugated antibodies to human and mouse targets covering a wide range of applications including phenotyping, cytokine expression, signaling responses, apoptosis and cell cycle, plus a variety of pre-validated panel kits.
Read MoreMaxpar™ Sample Prep Buffers and Fluidigm-validated protocols provide optimal mass cytometry staining performance for surface and intracellular targets. Use Cell-ID™ barcoding to increase throughput and decrease sample-to-sample staining variability.
Read MoreAccelerate discovery through improved performance and a streamlined workflow, driven by a modern, intuitive user interface. Cytobank provides an array of analysis tools, including dot plots, clustering and dimensionality reduction algorithms
Read MoreHelios is barcoding enabled. This increases throughput while improving data quality, allowing you to analyze more experimental variables simultaneously.
Mass cytometry employs heavy metal isotope tags to simultaneously measure multiple cellular targets. High-purity metallic isotopes ensure minimal background from signal overlap or endogenous cellular components.
Helios expands the mass cytometry range to 135 channels ensuring comprehensive studies today, and flexibility to scale in the future as new metal tags are developed.
Fluidigm offers metal-tagged antibodies as individual reagents and in preassembled kits targeting specific applications, which can be combined to build high-dimensional proteomic panels for profiling cellular systems.
