Flow Cytometry Core
The FCC forms a central technology platform for cell sorting and analysis on the research campus of the University Hospital of Cologne. The facility supports all research groups of the Life Science Campus of the Faculty of Medicine and Natural Sciences of the University of Cologne, regardless of their group affiliation or location. One focus of the FCC is on scientific exchange and supporting research projects with state-of-the-art flow cytometric analyses.
The Core Facility is currently under construction.
