Technology

XTra Autonomy

CyTOF® XT automation expands what your lab can accomplish by simplifying daily workflows, reducing operator time.

XTra Efficiency

Simplified front-end assembly, bottle tray for solutions and automated tuning minimize maintenance and calibration.

XTra Clarity

The precision of measuring marker expression using mass cytometry is unmatched by fluorescence cytometry methods. Cleaner signals translate to more accurate data.

Workflow

1

Design Panel

Easily build panels with 20 to 50 or more metal-tagged antibodies and reagents using Maxpar® Panel Designer. Add barcoding to multiplex your samples for even better data quality. Or begin with our pre-built panels.

2

Load

Up to 13 individual samples can be loaded in the chilled sample carousel for a single batch run.

3

Resuspend

The sample pellet is automatically resuspended and calibration beads added immediately prior to acquisition of each sample.

4

Acquire

Up to 13 different panels and sample types can be acquired unattended with preconfigured acquisition templates on the CyTOF XT.

5

Analyze

FCS 3.1 files can be analyzed with any capable software including FCS Express™ and Cytobank. Maxpar Pathsetter™ provides automated immune profiling data analysis.
