Mass cytometry and Imaging Mass Cytometry use is expanding in clinical research trials

CyTOF® technology has been adopted for use in dozens of clinical research trials around the world to investigate multiple areas of human disease to understand and improve prevention and therapeutics.

Here’s why:

  • 50-plus unique markers per panel maximize information from every precious patient sample.

  • Cells stained with metal-tagged antibodies can be frozen, stored and shipped reliably.

  • Panels are easier to adjust to accommodate new findings than those that are fluorescence-based.

  • Multiple publications prove that CyTOF assays and instruments provide reliable and reproducible results.

 

The use of mass cytometry and Imaging Mass Cytometry™ in clinical trials continues to steadily grow and be standardized across trials related to cancer immunotherapies.
