The service encourages interaction between users and service staff, and members of the team are available to advice on experimental design, interpretation and presentation of results.

  • Basic cell sorts (e.g. Lymphocytes, DCs, cells lines, transfected cells,..)
  • Sorts into 96- or 384-well plates with defined cell numbers (even single cells)
  • Complex sorts under sterile conditions, e.g. use of near UV-laser for stem cell side population of tumor tissue
  • Cell sorting of infectious samples (e.g. primary human samples, virus-transfected cells, bio safety level 2 infected cells)
  • Flow cytometry analyses with up to 16 colors; 561nm-Laser for excitation of RFPs
  • Spectral analyzer measurements and analyses (AURORA) with up to 30 colors
  • Advice for panel design and analysis of multi-color flow cytometry experiments
  • ImageStream measurements, data analysis and figure preparation for publications
  • Seminars on flow cytometry
  • Training for users on instruments, software and analysis
