Training

  • Hands-on training is mandatory for all first-time users of the facility regardless of previous flow cytometry experience. Training is free (we only charge the hourly cost rate of the analyser).
  • We help you with panel design using our experience in colour choices in order to get you on track faster and economically more efficient.
  • A class II biosafety cabinet houses the BD FACS ARIA III U, for sterile sorting of Cat1/Cat 2 pathogens and only fixed Cat 3 pathogens.

Read the biosafety pages before using the facility for important information, and to download the forms required to use the facility.
