Instruments at FlowKon

The Core Facility for Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting FlowKon currently hosts six high-end instruments supporting the use of a wide range of flow cytometry applications.

Analyzer Flow Cytometry

We provide access to four analyzers which are equipped with up to 5 lasers allowing for the simultaneous detection of up to 18 parameters within one cell.
