  • BD FACS Canto A
    The BD FACS Canto is capable of detecting up to 6 fluorescent parameters and 2 physical parameter per sample. The Canto can process up to 10,000 cells per second. Further details on usage and booking can be found by visiting here.
  • BD FACS CANTO II
    The BD FACS Canto II is capable of detecting up to 8 fluorescent parameters and 2 physical parameters per sample. The Canto can process up to 10,000 cells per second. Further details on usage and booking can be found by visiting here.
  • BD FACS AriaII
    Staining cells with fluorescently-labeled antibodies or cell surface-binding molecules allows the identification of subpopulations within a heterogeneous mixture. Subpopulations of cells thus identified can be isolated, or sorted, from the mixture at speeds of approximately 40,000 cells per second and with a purity approaching 100%. Further details on usage and booking can be found by visiting here.
  • Biorad Bioplex 200
    The Bioplex 200 is a multiplex array system which allows the detection of multiple analytes from a single sample. It can multiplex up to 100 analytes per well in a 96 well plate, analytes include cytokines, chemokines, apoptotic markers and phosphoproteins. Further details on usage and booking can be found by visiting here.
