We are open to all UHN Investigators and External Client.
New personnel will require training for the instruments they wish to use, and once training has been completed they will be provided security access to the facility.
Please read our After-Hours Policy and Policy for Sorting Cancellations.
We provide cutting-edge equipment to help research communities accelerate their research.
Please note we do have an assortment of extra mirrors and filters which can be exchanged, thereby allowing the detection of other fluorochromes.

Description: This webcast will review the
principles and concepts of spectral flow cytometry, describe
current technology innovations, and showcase some of the exciting
discoveries made possible by spectral flow cytometry, while also
discussing practical tips and best practices for researchers who
want to adopt this technology.
San Diego is excited to be the newest location for this long running series of week-long workshops, which provide state-of-the-art information on cutting-edge topics in cytometry.
