In our fast-paced and busy flow cytometry facility, our team of four experienced flow cytometry specialists delivers operator-performed cell sorting, instrument operation training, experimental design advice and data analysis assistance. We organise expert seminars and workshops, lectures and instruments' demos, and collaborate with the vibrant Swiss flow cytometry community to keep abreast of the advancements in our fast-developing field.
