Fluidigm Introduces High-Parameter Maxpar Mass Cytometry Panels

Nov 10, 2016

Fluidigm has announced new line of high-parameter Maxpar mass cytometry panels for immuno-oncology. Designed for use with the firm's Helios and CyTOF systems, the panels enable researchers to profile T cell subpopulations across 34 markers to identify all major T cell subsets, measure checkpoint molecule expression, identify activation states, and determine homing status. Provided as a modular panel system, researchers can combine the panels for complete coverage and customize individual panel sets with additional markers.
