Fluidigm Helios

Fluidigm has launched its Helios mass cytometry platform, which it said enables system-level biology at single-cell resolution. In conjunction with the Helios launch, Fluidigm has introduced a proteomics sample barcoding reagent kit that barcodes up to 20 samples, enabling them to be combined, stained and acquired as one multiplexed sample. The firm said it will begin shipment of the new system in the third quarter.
