CyTOF mass cytometry combines metal-isotope-tagged antibodies with time-of-flight detection to enable high-content single-cell analysis. It allows simultaneous evaluation of up to 50 markers per cell with little to no signal overlap,providing greater depth of immune monitoring than standard fluorescence cytometry,especially for complex phenotyping of rare cell subsets.
"},{"faq_question":"What sample types are compatible with CellCarta’s CyTOF service?","faq_answer":"CellCarta’s CyTOF platform is validated for a wide range of sample types,whether fresh or frozen,including PBMCs,whole blood,bone marrow aspirate,and dissociated tumors and tissue. Our team optimizes staining conditions and sample handling protocols to ensure maximum cell recovery across all supported sample types,including complex clinical matrices.
"},{"faq_question":"Can CellCarta design and conjugate custom antibody panels?","faq_answer":"Yes. As commercially available CyTOF antibodies can be rather limited,CellCarta offers custom antibody conjugation starting from purified,unconjugated antibodies or custom reagents. The team provides expert guidance in selecting the right antibody clones and conjugation conditions,and supports antibodies for unique applications,unavailable markers,and multiple animal species.
"},{"faq_question":"Are CellCarta’s CyTOF services suitable for regulated clinical studies?","faq_answer":"Yes. CellCarta delivers CyTOF mass cytometry services in a GCLP (Good Clinical Laboratory Practice) environment,with validated staining conditions,optimized sample handling,and rigorous quality controls,supporting both exploratory research programs and regulated clinical sample analysis.
"},{"faq_question":"What data analysis tools does CellCarta use for CyTOF?","faq_answer":"CellCarta uses CellEngine®,our proprietary cloud-based flow cytometry software,alongside Spotfire analytics software. These tools enable the team to move rapidly from millions of cellular events to actionable visualizations of compound activity across hundreds of readouts.
