Our facility houses two third - generation Helios
mass cytometers that can routinely analyze more than 40 markers per tube to provide an unprecedented «systems - level» view of phenotypic and functional variations among single cells within heterogeneous cell populations.
Mass cytometers analyze cells labelled with antibodies (or other markers) conjugated to metals, rather than fluorochromes, in a
mass spectroscopy - coupled flow
cytometer, also known as a CyTOF (latest generation units are known as Helios).
