CyTOF Mass Cytometer

Mass Cytometry

CyTOF2 is a new generation flow cytometer, which utilizes Time-Of-Flight mass spectrometer as a readout. The system uses heavy metal labeled antibodies instead of fluorescent-labeled antibodies, which allows multi-parametric single cell analysis for more than 40 channels with minimal background and compensation problems.

The CyTOF was purchased by the VISN4 HCHT Equipment Funds and awarded to the Philadelphia VAMC (PVAMC) for shared use by investigators at both PVAMC and Penn.

IFI offers a wide variety of CyTOF-related services including consultation, training, antibody conjugation, antibody distribution, and data acquisition. Please contact Takuya Ohtani for more information on services.
