Sample Barcoding
High-Plex. High-Throughput.
Sample multiplexing with Maxpar® cell barcoding reagents for CyTOF®
Sample-specific cell barcoding for simplified workflows
and improved staining consistency
Scalable: Combine 35-plus samples at once to run larger experiments.
Flexible: Integrate barcodes with CyTOF panels without compromising
panel size.
Powerful: Improve data quality and streamline workflows.
Sample barcoding has been used in flow cytometry workflows for many years. The process tags each cell in a given sample with a unique identifier, enabling sample multiplexing for improved workflows and enhanced data quality.
Only CyTOF technology enables barcoding workflows for 35 or more samples stained with high-parameter panels of 30 or more markers, providing unique value for use of mass cytometry in translational and clinical research studies.
Use sample barcoding to achieve higher throughput for scaled-up experiments and reduce batch variability, providing even greater data consistency for large studies.
