The Flow Cytometry Platform provides a state of the art flow cytometry service and expertise to GIMM researchers as well as external groups from other research institutes and companies.

Platform staff is well trained in instrument operation, providing support to experimental planning, sample acquisition, panel design and data analysis. Training is available for all analytical instruments and SOP are implemented to comply with the highest quality standards required to ensure reproducibility in science.

If you want to purify a cell population in your sample, we can help you by providing a cell sorting service using 5 high speed cell sorters (BD FACSAria IIu, BD FACSAria Fusion, BD FACSAria III and two BD FACSDiscover S8).

We’re here to help with your flow cytometry experiments. Get in touch and we’ll give you a guided tour of our facility so you can get the most out of your work with us!
