CELL SORTING
Our BD FACSJazz (2B/4YG) cell sorter and analyser. This cell sorter incorporates some new design features (intuitive alignment, real-time video monitoring, drop-delay confirmation,…) that simplify the operation of stream-in-air machines, which helps increasing the operational efficiency for high workloads.

EXTRACELLULAR FLUX ANALYSIS
The Seahorse XFe96 – Extracellular Flux Analyzer can provide the value of the two major energy producing pathways of the cells: mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, in a microplate and in real-time.
This equipment has received the financial support of the European Commission – European Regional Development Fund.
MICROPLATE READER
The CLARIOstar Plus microplate reader is a flexible multi-mode reader. It comes equipped with the LVF Monochromators™, filters, and spectrometer. This flexibility is also combined with its sensitivity.
