The flow cytometry facility provides researchers with advanced instrumentation and cell sorting services in low- and high-containment environments.
We offer a number of services including flow cytometry theory, instrument training, access to user operated analysers, cell sorting service and assisted cell sorting, software training, and consultation in experiment planning and panel design and data analysis.
We specialise in sample preparation, acquisition, cell sorting and analysis of biological samples from livestock.
