So… how does #MassCytometry actually work? 🤔
1. Cells are stained with antibodies tagged to rare heavy metals
2. Each cell is vaporised and ionised in a plasma
3. Ions are separated by their mass and detected in a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer

How does #FlowCytometry work?
1. Cells pass single file through laser beams.
2. Lasers excite markers and scatter light linked to cell features.
3. Detectors measure the signals.
Together, this builds a detailed profile of each cell.
