Technical requirements: Oslo Universitetssykehus, Radiumhospitalet, Kjernefasilitet for Flow Cytometri [Oslo University Hospital, the Radium Hospital, Core Facility for Flow Cytometry] will procure a new instrument for imaging of mass spectrometry analysiss. The imaging device is an ‘add-on’ to our mass spectrometry cytometer (CyTOF2). The CyTOF2 instrument must also be upgraded to a standard Helios instrument so that the imaging device (Hyperion) can be connected.

The imaging device is an ‘add-on’ to our mass spectrometry cytometer (CyTOF2). The CyTOF2 instrument must also be upgraded to a standard Helios instrument so that the imaging device (Hyperion) can be connected.
The Core Facility for Flow Cytometry at the Radiumhospitalet analyses and sorts cells for more than 100 users. The department has a mass spectrometry cytometer, CyTOF2 from earlier. The department needs an imaging device that can be connected to the CyTOF2, and that makes imaging of cross-sections on slides marked with antibodies that are also marked with heavy metals. The mass spectrometry device can measure over 50 different heavy metals, and thereby makes imaging of an equivalent number of parameters in cross-section possible.
1) The imaging device must be able to be connected to our CyTOF2 mass cytometer. It will also be based on mass spectrometry principles (for measuring the number of heavy ions with different mass), with UV laser desorption to release 'the bites’ from the cross-section. (‘The bites’ will correspond to pixels in the finished image.)
2) The mass cytometer must have a minimum of 135 channels. The imaging device must have a best resolution of maximum one μm2, and a scanning speed of a minimum 0,5 mm
