Flow citometry

Short description

BD FACSVerse, 3 lasers, 8 colours.

Applications

Life sciences

Expertise

Theoretical explanations and practical training about FACS Verse to bring the user to autonomy with possible remote or nearby assistance.

Assistance in the choice of fluorochromes, in the setting of compensations, in the gating strategy, in the technical interpretation of the results.

Reflection on

  • morphological analysis (FSC, SSC)

  • phenotyping (antibodies coupled to fluorochromes)

  • DNA content (DAPI, PI...)

  • Mitochondrial membrane potential (MitoTRACKER...)

  • cell cycle (BrdU...)

  • cell viability (PI, 7-AAD, Annexin V, SYTOX...)

  • cells from cell lines or dissociated tissues and bacteria.
