Mass Cytometer

Helios™ Mass Cytometer - CyTOF®

Helios™, a CyTOF® system, comprises the most recent advances in mass cytometry and is designed to provide a new and improved tool for bioanalytical single-cell detection and analysis. This high-performance mass cytometer, from the CyTOF family of instruments, enables the analysis of more than 40 markers and uniquely allows their quantitative determination with negligible spectral overlap, a result of exquisite resolution between mass detection channels.

Spectral Cytometer

Sony ID7000TM Spectral Cell Analyser

The ID7000™ spectral cell analyser supports high-parameter flow cytometry by delivering comprehensive information about heterogeneous cell populations, with high sensitivity to detect dim and rare populations.

The ID7000 expands the capabilities of cell analysis, as it is configured with 5 lasers. The system enables researchers to perform experiments using 44 colours or more, limited only by the fluorochromes available. Laser choices range from ultraviolet (355 nm) to red (637nm). The system’s detection capability enables expansion of multicolour panels and can keep pace with future fluorochrome development.

The ID7000 spectral cell analyser includes novel features, including the spectral reference library and the autofluorescence finder allowing researchers to identify and subtract contributions to the signal from autofluorescent populations, thus ensuring higher fidelity of data and more accurate visualization.

Spectral technology, easy-to-use software, and automation across the workflow make the ID7000 an excellent fit for facilities looking for a user-friendly, high-performance analyser that will bring their research to the next level.
