Fluidigm Helios Cell Mass Cytometer

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 ly allows their quantitative determination with negligible spectral overlap, a result of exquisite resolution between mass detection channels. Helios provides users with 135 detection channels that can simultaneously resolve multiple elemental probes at high acquisition rates, thereby maximizing the per-cell information obtained from a single sample. The expanded mass range of 75 209 amu and superior mass resolution provide researchers with the ability to differentiate adjacent peaks. The Helios system provides fast instrument startup, an easyto-use pneumatic sample loading system, an improved cell detection rate, and enhanced data storage capabilities. These attributes provide researchers with an unparalleled ability to generate high-resolution phenotypic and functional profiles of cells from normal and diseased states. [Product Link]
