Expertise & Team
Know-how
Our Flow Cytometry Core Facility is often colloquially called FACS Facility, although Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting only represents a specialized application of flow cytometry. Thus, what is flow cytometry?
cyto = cell, metry = measurement, flow = cell suspension in motion
Flow cytometry is measuring physicochemical properties of single cells or other (biological) particles while these are in a fluid stream and pass, one by one, laser light in the flow cytometer.
Hence, figuratively speaking, a flow cytometer is an automated fluorescence microscope measuring intra- and extracellular characteristics of cells that are visualized by means of scattered light and fluorochrome labelling.
Our CMCB Flow Cytometry Team has at least 10 years of experience in the field of flow cytometric analysis and sorting of diverse cells types of different origin.
