摘要 |
This disclosure is directed to systems and methods that enable optical-based cytometric techniques and mass cytometric techniques to be used in the investigation of the same set of particles. The systems and methods include an optical analysis system that individually receives one or more particles of a sample of particles. The optical analysis system generates optical particle data for each optically detectable particle of the sample that passes through the optical analysis system. A mass cytometry system also receives each particle that passes through the optical analysis system and generates mass particle data for each detectable particle that enters the mass cytometry system. The methods and systems correlate the optical particle data and the mass particle data associated with the same particles. |
