March 2019—Fluidigm introduced its Maxpar Human Immune Monitoring Panel Kit for comprehensive immune cell profiling in cancer and immune-mediated diseases. The immune monitoring kit contains 29 metal-labeled antibodies and reagents designed for deep immune profiling of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in one tube. The single-tube assay enables combinatorial information to be obtained from each sample, eliminates daughter tube variation, and offers a simplified workflow that reduces hands-on time, the company says. The kit is designed for use with the Helios system for mass cytometry. Many data analysis options, including Cytobank and GemStone software, are available from third parties.
