    Bookings and Cancellations

    Cell Sorter
    For cell sorting request, please, contact the head of the facility.

    Cell Analysers
    Approved users can book the different instruments in the Flow Cytometer Core Facility online calendar.

    In order to get an approved user it is very important to have a basic knowledge in flow cytometry. Appropriate literature or links can be found under ´links´. With a good basci knowledge the user can book an instruction session via email followed by an on site training with users´s samples.

    Cancellation should be done at least 24 hours prior the booking.
