Instruments

Our facility is comprised of six state-of-the-art analyzers and three sorters from Becton Dickinson. Two instruments are spectrally enhanced for more complex user experiments. We are generously supported by the Canada Foundation For Innovation.

All Instruments Operational

NOTE: FACS FLOW SUPPLY SYSTEMS

Please DO NOT turn the FACS Flow Supply Systems off. They are to remain powered on at all times.

REMINDER:

• The analyzer cancellation period is 6 hours in advance.
• Operator assisted (consultation, training, acquisition, and sorting) cancellation period is 48 hours in advance.
• We are not responsible for data storage.
• No USBs are allowed on individual computers!
