APPLICATIONS
Technology
Driving groundbreaking insights at the single-cell level, millions of times
Mass cytometry, powered by CyTOF® technology, is the world’s most advanced cytometric platform. It has opened new doors to discovery and clinical research by empowering investigators to interrogate more than 50 markers simultaneously on millions of individual cells. Join the hundreds who have reimagined cytometry with CyTOF to unveil new cell types, functions and biomarkers in immunology, cancer, infectious disease and more.
- XTra Autonomy: CyTOF® XT automation expands what your lab can accomplish by simplifying daily workflows and freeing operator time for other tasks
- 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 mean data is more accurate.
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.
