Dear all,
Tuesday, August 1th 2017, 10:00am Lehrgebäude Hörsaal Flow Cytometry is in some way not a classical hard science. There are sometimes several ways to get the answer for the question you asked. However there are some rules that are good to follow. It is in some way like cooking, there a lot of recipes out…
What is spectral flow cytometry? In contrast with conventional flow cytometry that detects the emission peak of fluorochromes by the use of optical filters, spectral flow cytometry distinguishes the shapes of emission spectra along a large range of continuous wave lengths. The data is analyzed with an algorithm that replaces compensation matrices and treats auto-fluorescence…
As some of you might already know that structural changes have taken place at the Flow Cytometry Core Facility during the last months. Dr. Elmar Endl, who established the Core Facility in 2004 with great success, took over a new position in a faculty committee (Dekanatskomission Core Facilities) as Core Facilities Business and Operations Coordinator….
In 2018 the Flow Cytometry Core Facility was able to acquire five new instruments.
A FACSAria Fusion cell sorter, a second LSRFortessa cell analyzer and an ImageStream image cytometer were granted by the DFG through a large device application. (“Forschungsgroßgeräte” nach Art.91b GG)
Special thanks goes to the excellence cluster “ImmunoSensation”and to the SFB TR57 . A FACSMelody cell sorter and a Attune NXT flow cytometer could be purchased by their help. Furthermore, we could upgrade the Image Stream shortly after it was delivered, since we found out, that one of the planned experiments would require up to 20 hours of measurement time. This is definitely a job for an autosampler.
