Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility

Our Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility is located at Inmunolab, Faculty of Sciences, University of Chile. The Facility has a FACS Canto II cell cytometer (2 lasers- up to 6 parameters) and a FACS Aria III cell sorter (3 lasers-up to 8 parameters) whose major purpose is the identification and isolation of various cell populations.

In addition to identification and isolation of cell populations, flow cytometry can be used to analyze:

• Cell proliferation
• Cell physiological properties, such as calcium flux and pH
• DNA content and integrity
• Apoptosis
• Transfection markers such as GFP
• Quantification of cytokines

The Facility counts with scientific and technical personnel who are available for consultation in designing experimental protocols and software programs for the interpretation and analysis of data. Cell preparation protocols and publication quality output are available upon request.

These instruments are operated by scientific personnel from Inmunolab. If you need to analyze your samples or isolate cell populations you should book in advance at contact@inmunolab.cl
