Name of facility
We currently carry out research relating to the study of cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological diseases and chronic diseases. Staff use a number of 3D cell culture approaches to study disease processes in vitro.
Our cell culture laboratories provide facilities for sample preparation, primary cell culture and secondary cell culture.
- Sysmex XP-300 automated haematology analyser for the analysis of white blood cells, red blood cells, neutrophils and platelets
- Coy hypoxic glove box for culture of eukaryotic cells in a hypoxic environment, which mimics the gas conditions found in mammalian bodies
- Invitrogen countess automated cell counter for rapid enumeration of cells
- BD FACSCALIBUR flow cytometer for enumeration, typing and sorting of cells
- Gallios 10 Channel flow cytometer for enumeration, typing and sorting of bacterial or mammalian cells
- Leica benchtop tissue processor for the processing of tissue samples prior to sectioning and analysis
- Leica microtome for sectioning of tissue samples
- Cryostats (x3) for sectioning of tissue samples
- Cell culture suites for culture of primary and secondary cells (6 laminar flow hoods)
