Mass Cytometry – Explained

The use of mass cytometry is growing and includes its adoption for clinical applications Mass cytometry is a variation of flow cytometry that uses antibodies labeled with metal tags rather than fluorophores. Also known as CyTOF® flow cytometry, in deference to...
Choosing the Right Fluorescent Immunoassay for Your Research

Choosing the Right Fluorescent Immunoassay for Your Research

Fluorescent immunoassays meet different experimental needs   When immunoassays such as western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were first reported, they typically produced either a radiometric or chromogenic signal. However, many common...
