![A ring of grey and black in the center split into 3 sections with the words Flow, Mass, Spectral going around it clockwise. A dashed line coming out from the ring separates the rest of the space into three sections. Surrounding the ring are six colored circles each with a white icon. The circles directly opposite each other are the same color, but different shades (red opposite pink, blue opposite light blue, green opposite light green). Red shows a pencil, pink shows a grid-like matrix, Blue shows four dials, light blue shows only two; green shows a heavy metal spectrum with distinct lines, light green shows fluorescence spectrum with overlap. The green circle is in the Mass segment, the red overlaps between Mass and Flow, the Blue overlaps between Mass and Spectral. The Mass segment is the only one without any light colored circles.](https://teiko.bio/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/132-Article-2-Revision-2-no-text-larger.png)
Flow vs. Spectral vs. Mass Cytometry: What’s the difference?
What’s the difference between flow, spectral, and mass cytometry? We highlight the differences between these three different cytometry platforms used by drug developers to characterize the immune system so you can determine which platform provides you the richest information to advance your research and therapeutic development.
