Flow cytometry allows the characterisation of particles such as cells from animals and plants, all types of microorganisms or other materials such as plastics. It can identify thousands of individual particles in a few seconds and, based on its measurements, sort different populations to be used in other applications. Given its flexibility, this technique is used by researchers in all fields of biological and biomedical sciences. The flow cytometry unit at the University of Helsinki offers access to equipment and know-how in this technique to users from our university, research institutes, hospitals and companies in the Helsinki region. In this project, we aim to provide a better and greener service to our users by replacing our old instruments by modern machines. These machines are more energy efficient and equipped with novel features, allowing our users to do better research on important issues, from impacts of climate change to understanding and treating diseases.
