Spectral Flow Cytometry

Reliably characterize up to 64 features in cells of interest to assess a therapeutic response

Characterize immune responses and explore immune correlates in your immunotherapy clinical trials. Utilize spectral flow cytometry to simultaneously interrogate multiple targets on cell subsets of interest from your limited clinical samples. Leverage our expertise in method transfer and assay development, paired with clinical validation, to empower and accelerate your global, multi-site program.

Measure a range of endpoints with spectral flow cytometry

Simultaneously analyze multiple proteins, gene expression, and cell functions with up to 64 parameters for a range of clinical endpoints. Precision offers flow cytometry assays to span many research applications.

Define what you’re studying:

  • Rare cell detection and quantification based on phenotype, apoptosis, or phosphorylation status
  • Immunophenotyping and absolute counting of cell subsets 
  • Modulation of activation and exhaustion markers
  • Apoptosis and cell cycle analysis via histone methylation
  • Cytokine production
  • For CAR NK-cell/T-cell therapy:
    • Expression of lineage-specific markers and characterization
    • CAR T/NK persistence and immunogenicity

Choose the appropriate flow cytometry assay:

  • Intracellular cytokine (ICC) flow
  • Receptor occupancy (RO) assays and ligand measurement
  • Phospho-flow for phosphorylation state
  • Immune functional assays: antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), T-cell activation
  • Antigen-specific flow cytometry: detection and characterization of peptides, dextramers, tetramers
  • Cytometric bead assays for cytokine measurement
  • Histone methylation measurement
  • Spectral flow cytometry

What is spectral flow cytometry?

Spectral flow cytometry captures the full emission spectrum of fluorescent molecules using arrays of highly sensitive light detectors, which enables characterization of more parameters in a single sample, compared to conventional. This permits differentiation of a vast combination of fluorophores, increasing flexibility in application design and enabling the development of complex multicolor panels for comprehensive immunophenotypic analysis.
