Flow Cytometry & Confocal Microscopy
The flow cytometry and confocal microscopy facility provides highly specialised cell sorting, analysis and imaging facilities to both internal and external researchers. The facility is equipped with an LSR II analytical flow cytometer, Leica TCS SP2 confocal microscope and MoFlo cell sorter. Our cell sorter also allows sorting and purification of specific chromosomes, a service no other laboratory within Australia currently provides.
Sequenom Platform Facility
The Sequenom Platform Facility provides expertise in mass spectrometry and robotics to analyse DNA and RNA at a high-performance level.
The Sequenom platform is housed within a NATA accredited laboratory and is operated according to ISO 15189 requirements.
Tissue Culture
Our tissue culture laboratory provides cell cultures and media for research scientists as well as establishing skin fibroblast or lymphoblast cultures from patients for diagnostic and quality assurance testing.
