The Method
We read millions of cells using mass cytometry
Mass Cytometry is a mass spectrometry method used to determine specific properties of cells.
It is an advanced cytometry method that builds upon the established science of flow cytometry while eliminating many of the common challenges associated with the technique.
Armed with in-depth immune information, researchers can make informed decisions around patient response and drive new pathway discoveries.

Flow Cytometry
- 10-15 markers per assay
- Significant signal overlap due to fluorescence
- Extensive time to optimization
- Multiple sample consumption for result
MASS Cytometry
- Up to 45 unique markers per assay
- High-resolution, minimal signature overlap
- Reduced time to optimization
- Single sample consumption for result
Expert Panel Design
The TokuProfile Intro Panel was constructed based on extensive prior knowledge, input from our collaborative network, and experience over the course of dozens of unique mass cytometry projects. The panel includes:
- Markers to identify every major immune cell population and subsets.
- Expression of key co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules that regulate cell function
- Markers of cell proliferation and markers of recent activation.
- Ten free channels for customization
