Hiranmayi Ravichandran is the director of Spatial Biology at WCM Mass Cytometry Facility. The facility has a Hyperion™ Tissue Imaging System which enables simultaneous detection of 4 to 37 protein markers labelled by metal-tagged antibodies and pairing proven CyTOF® technology with the capability to image fixed tissue sections (FFPE) and fresh / frozen tissue, making it possible to deeply interrogate tissues (including tumors) at subcellular resolution while maintaining spatial relationships. We’ve recently paired the Helios™, mass cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) instrument with the Hyperion imaging module. The system is one of 30 of its kind in use, and the only one in the NYC area.

With this advanced technology for single-cell analysis, we are providing investigators with a powerful, affordable and actionable tool for exploring complex biological processes.
