Analyzer Services

We offer technician-assisted Cell Analysis. This service is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Request an assisted analysis appointment.

Add yourself to the Basic Analyzer Course training notification list by filling out this form. You will receive all future course invites.

This training will enable 24/7 unassisted access for internal BCM users and 8am-6pm M-F unassisted access for external users. It is pre-requisite to spectral analyzer and any sorter training in the core.

Consultation regarding experimental design, panel design, and data analysis is available. Sign up for a consultation here.

Different from the traditional fluorescence based cytometer, the Helios uses metals-tagged antibodies to label markers of interest in cells. The high purity and choice of metal isotopes provide minimal background noise from signal overlap or endogenous cellular components, plus 135 available detection channels ensure an ongoing ability to add more parameters, enabling you to fully study the functional complexity of biological systems at the single-cell level.

• The Hyperion Imaging System allows for simultaneous interrogation of 4-37 protein markers using a plate platform so that adherent cells can be imaged and analyzed without processing them into single cell suspension.
• 135 possible detectors with 40+ metal isotopes available for tagging

This instrument produces multiple high-resolution images of every cell directly in flow, including brightfield and darkfield (SSC), and up to 10 fluorescent markers with sensitivity exceeding conventional flow cytometers. Resolution options of 20X, 40X, and 60X.
