Imaging Mass Cytometry
Gain unprecedented insights from highly multiplexed single-cell spatial biology
Imaging Mass Cytometry™ (IMC™) is a vital tool that allows researchers to gain an appreciation of the role of heterogeneity in cell function and assess complex phenotypes and tumor-immune interactions in the tissue and tumor microenvironment. Gain a deeper understanding of the spatial environment to answer important translational and clinical research questions in the context of disease.

When speed matters, get faster answers for cohort analysis and clinical studies with the second-generation Hyperion+™ Imaging System.

Workflow
1

Design
Design panels using pathologist-verified Maxpar® antibodies conjugated to metal tags.
2

Stain
Stain tissues (FFPE or frozen) using familiar IHC protocols.
3

Image
Image up to 40 protein markers at single-cell resolution using the Hyperion™ Imaging System.
4

Analyze
Analyze images in minutes using the MCD™ Viewer and easily export for secondary analysis.
Using the Hyperion Imaging System, you can visualize the complex spatial biology of the tissue microenvironment with Imaging Mass Cytometry.
- Single-cell resolution: allows accurate and quantifiable phenotyping and cell function assessment
- No autofluorescence: reliable results when working with highly autofluorescent tissues like lung, gut, brain and skin
- No time-consuming cyclic protocols: high-plex protein detection from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded or frozen tissue sections
- Proven: hundreds of hands-on users and more than 130 peer-review published references
