Sample Requirements
- Must contain viability marker (103Rh, 194Pt, cisPt, or 198Pt).
- Must be FIXED with minimum 1.6% PFA.
- Metal Free BSA (Sigma)
- Must contain Ir191/193 for cell identification.
- Must be brought in 5mL polypropylene tubes
- MAXIMUM of 1 million pelleted cells per tube
- Individual or barcoded samples that exceed 1 million cells should be
split evenly across multiple tubes (for example, a sample with 3 million cells
should be split into 3 polypropylene tubes with 1 million cells in each tube).
- Individual or barcoded samples that exceed 1 million cells should be
- Cell Counts (including Cell Viability) obtained prior to final pelleting, must be provided to staff
- Always perform 2 final washes using CAS Plus.
- Samples are added to the Autosampler carousel in Pellet Form ONLY
- DO NOT ADD BEADS (Autosampler adds EQ6 beads and resuspends the sample in CAS Plus prior to acquisition on-board the instrument.)
