    Services

    The flow cytometry instruments provide comprehensive and technically sophisticated cell analysis and sorting services.
    All locations are equipped with state of the art sorters and have the capacity to run many advanced flow cytometry applications, i. e.:
     
      multi-color immunofluorescence
        DNA cell cycle analysis
        procaryotic and eukaryotic cell sorting

    An important difference between the machines is which lasers are present and which colors are detectable. Two of the machines are located in S2 (L2) laboratories and can be used preferentially for pathogenic material (IMIB, LMB).  Two sorters are preferentially used for immunological research and diagnostics VIM, RVZ). More details regarding the difference between the machines are listed  in Equipment.
