Fluidigm Helios (a CyTOF® system) Mass Cytometer

helios-pic.jpgThe Standard BioTools Helios is a high-performance cell analyzer providing multiparameter analysis, including simultaneous detection of > 50 distinct parameters. This system employs probes (most often antibodies) that are labeled with heavy metals to be detected by time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometry.

  • CyTOF® technology enables deep profiling of translational and clinical research samples across a range of cell surface and intracellular markers
  • Cell suspension analysis using antibodies conjugated to metal isotopes
  • Gross Hall room 1401

  BD Fortessa flow cytometer
  • Cell analyzer with five lasers (355nm, 405nm, 488nm, 561nm, 640nm) and can detect up to 18 color parameters. It is equipped with a BD High Throughput Sampler for rapid analysis of samples prepared in plate formats.
  • $40 per hour operator use/ $60 per hour assisted use
  • Gross Hall bay 1200

BD Fusion Cell Sorter
  • Cell sorter has five lasers (355nm, 405nm, 488nm, 561nm, 640nm) and can detect up to 18 color parameters. It is equipped with a moveable platform for clone sorting into 96 well plates, and a temperature controller for maintaining sorted cells at cold temperatures during sorts, and is kept in a BSL2 biosafety cabinet for sterile cell sorting.
  • $80 per hour operatory only
  • Gross Hall room 1313

Hyperion

  • Using the same technology as the Helios, the Hyperion uses imaging mass cytometry technology to generate high-dimensional spatial data. By using metal-tagged probes, the Hyperion can detect 40+ markers on tissue sections minimizing the complications from autofluorescent tissues or spectral overlap.
