Panel Design

The Maxpar® Panel Designer (Fluidigm) is an interactive web-based application that simplifies and optimizes panel design. It allows users to build a panel consisting of MCAs from the Fluidigm® catalog and from custom conjugates. The tool calculates and provides visualization of predicted signal overlap for each panel, and also has an algorithm that optimizes the metal tag selections for each target to optimize panel performance. Panels can be saved and exported for sharing with collaborators and for future import into CyTOF® instrument control software.
