Flow Cytometry Facility

Our Flow Cytometry facility houses one cell sorter, three analysis platforms and two data analysis computers within its PC2 facilities. 

Cell Sorting

BD FACSJazz cell sorter

The BD FACSJazz features

  • Blue [488nm] and red [635nm] laser
  • Can detect up to six fluorescent colours.
  • Fixed 100µm nozzle and, depending on cell type and sample preparation can sort through 30 million cells per hour.

Sorting

The BD FACSJazz can simultaneously sort up to two populations into the following collection vessels; single-way sorting into 50ml tubes and cell culture plates (6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-wells) and two-way sorting into 10-15ml and 5ml tubes.
