IMC workshop

The novel technology of Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) enables detailed and contextual characterisation of protein expression. IMC is a mass spectrometry-based technique that allows for the immunostaining of up to 40 markers in a single tissue section. Tissue sections of primary tumours or sectioned tissue microarrays of 3D tumour models can be stained with a…
