Immune Profiling
Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling Assay and Maxpar Pathsetter software
Introducing the first complete sample-to-answer solution for single-cell high-dimensional immune profiling of human PBMC and whole blood, the Maxpar® Direct™ Immune Profiling Assay™ and Maxpar Pathsetter™ software. Each provides the data quality and reproducibility required to capture the highly individual nature of immune response in health and disease.
No CyTOF? No problem.
We can help you convert your fluorescence panel and find a service provider.

The technical details: populations, clones and workflows
Designed as a simple single-tube workflow, the system brings together CyTOF® technology on the CyTOF XT™ and Helios™ mass cytometry systems, a dry-format 30-marker antibody panel and automated Maxpar Pathsetter software, enabling identification of 37 immune cell populations.

Samples stained with the Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling Assay can be fixed, frozen and stored for analysis at a later time or at another location.
Broad adoption by consortia and in clinical research studies
The Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling System has been adopted for use by multiple consortia and in clinical research studies based on its ease of use and reproducibility lot-to-lot, run-to-run and site-to-site. Learn more below about how this comprehensive and reliable approach to immune monitoring is reducing time to results and lowering cost for large studies.
