Mass Cytometry Why Multiplex

When contemplating multiplex studies what can be gained and how should the study be structured? What features are important to the study and ultimately why perform the time consuming, costly, and more challenging experiment? There are multiple ways to answer these questions, but my answers may surprise. Most of my perspective derives from what we have learned from other technologies and how we extrapolated those studies. My goal is to inform and help researchers determine their best options for imaging studies using Mass Cytometry. Ultimately, it may all comes down the correct analytical tool and learning what to look for in the clutter. Just imagine.
