Flow cytometer

Flow cytometer allows the parallel detection of cellular parameters in very small volumes. The instrument allows phenotyping of a wide range of cell types and subtypes, such as T and B cells, NK cells and dendritic cells, as well as tissue-specific, neuronal and germ cell populations. The instrument also allows cell imaging and fully automated sample capture in formats of up to 96 samples per plate. Cryotome enables in situ processing of a fixed biological sample, which means that the spatial localisation of specific cells and molecules in the samples can be monitored. The histological slice scanner will allow a fast and accurate real-time spatial visual examination of histological slices of the samples, which will be simultaneously quantified by a flow cytometer.

Responsible for equipment: PhD Martina Mohorčič
The equipment is accessible to all internal and external users. All users must have adequate knowledge and experience to operate the equipment independently. In the case of non-experienced users, the operators or the Infrastructure facility shall carry out their experiments. In all cases, the project, the complexity of the analyses and the complexity of the samples must be evaluated before the experiments are started.
