Cytomics Unit

Cytomics Unit allows multiparameter cell analysis by flow cytometry, providing a service to facilitate research in the field of biomedical and biotechnological research.

Some areas of application of this technology are:

 Detection of surface antigens, cytoplasmic or nuclear.

 Identification of cell populations.

 Measurements of cellular DNA content: cell proliferation, changes in ploidy, cell cycle.

 Cell viability and apoptosis.

 Functional status of the cell: activation (membrane potential, pH and intracellular Ca + +) and free radical production.

 Transfection efficiency.

Equipment

The unit has a Gallios Beckman Coulter cytometer equipped with three lasers: 488nm (blue), 633 (red) and 405 (purple), with the ability to detect 10 fluorescence parameters and two scatter parameters
