Facility manager Dr. Chiara Frasson

The Flow Cytometry and Sorting Facility offers to all research’s groups an efficient and personalized service. The facility provides three cytometers: a FC500-Beckman Coulter (equipped with a 488 nm laser), a Cytoflex- Beckman Coulter (equipped with three lasers: 488nm, 633nm and 405nm), a FACS Celesta -Becton Dickinson (equipped with four lasers: 488nm, 633nm, 405nm and 562nm) and two cell sorters: a MoFlo XDP (Beckman Coulter) and a FACS Aria III (Becton Dickinson). Both sorters are equipped with three lasers (MoFlo XDP: 488nm, 633nm and 355nm; FACS Aria III: 488nm, 633nm and 375nm).
