Immune Profiling
Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling Assay and Maxpar Pathsetter software
Identify major circulating immune cell types in human whole blood or PBMC samples with the validated, dry-format Maxpar™ Direct Immune Profiling Assay.
This robust immunophenotyping assay provides clinicians with an easy-to-implement solution for routine and reproducible sample collection to capture the highly individual nature of immune response.
Now available in two sizes, a 25-test kit and 5-test kit format.
Overview
Standardize immune monitoring studies
A simple single-tube workflow with automated analysis minimizes variability and ensures high reproducibility of multiparameter data.
Proven performance and reproducibility
Clinical and translational research demands reproducible and reliable immune profiling, especially when samples are processed and analyzed by different technicians or at different study sites1,2. The reproducibility of the Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling System has been demonstrated run-to-run and site-to-site.
Workflow
Learn how the single-tube assay speeds up sample collection to insights.
Ideal for multicenter or longitudinal studies
Stain, freeze, ship
Unlike fluorescent tags that are light-sensitive, metal tags can withstand harsh staining protocols and storage conditions, providing greater stability when freezing or shipping samples.
Standardized sample collection
Maintain sample integrity between collection and processing by stabilizing whole blood with preservation reagents, even at room temperature.
Data Analysis
Actionable insights with rapid data
Maxpar Pathsetter software is a fully automated reporting and data analysis solution that automatically identifies 37 immune cell types in FCS files from samples processed with the Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling Assay.
Expanding and Customizing

Maxpar® Direct™ T Cell Activation Expansion Panel
The Maxpar® Direct™ T Cell Activation Expansion Panel enables deep phenotyping and functional characterization of T cell activation and exhaustion in conjunction with the Maxpar® Direct™ Immune Profiling Assay™. The panel includes intracellular cytokine markers, which may be used to study the phenotype of cells responding to a particular treatment or stimulant and can also be used to identify the frequency of antigen-specific T cell responses after natural infection or vaccination. Additional markers included support the measurement of cytotoxic potential in T and natural killer (NK) cells and identification of activated T helper cell populations.MarkerCloneChannelPrimary PurposeStainingCD69FN50113CdEarly activation markerSurfaceCD107aH4A3106CdCytotoxic degranulation markerSurfaceCTLA-414D3162DyT cell exhaustion markerIntracellularGranzyme BGB11198PtCytotoxicity markerIntracellularIFNγB27116CdAnti-viral and immunoregulatory cytokineIntracellularIL-2MQ1-17H12112CdPleiotropic cytokineIntracellularIL-4MP425D2142NdAnti-inflammatory Th2 cytokineIntracellularIL-10JES3-9D7165HoRegulatory cytokineIntracellularIL-17ABL168169TmPro-inflammatory Th17 cytokineIntracellularPerforinB-D48196PtCytotoxicity markerIntracellularTNFαMab11114CdPro-inflammatory cytokineIntracellular
