Flow Cytometry
Our flow cytometry shared resource laboratory (FlowSRL) is a CL2 lab capable of conventional or image cytometry analysis, as well as cell sorting. We have experience analysing a full range of samples, from bacteria to yeast and mammalian to plant cells.
We provide technical expertise for flow cytometry experiments, data analysis and cell sort services and we are commited to train the next generation of scientist in flow cytometry.
