Flow Cytometry

As a new user to flow cytometry and with limited prior wet lab experience, learning flow cytometry from scratch has been a steep learning curve. The TRI flow core staff have been extremely supportive and helpful, providing both formalised training as well as impromptu informal support which has made the process both manageable and enjoyable. The highly experienced, skilled, and approachable flow core team facilitate scientists to best capitalise on this state-of-the-art facility which is enabling cutting-edge immunology research. 

I am a researcher who has had the pleasure of utilising both the flow cytometry core full-service (FACS) and self-service (Cytoflex) facilities at TRI.
I commend the flow team for their invaluable guidance, which has been instrumental in my work. Whether one is a novice or an experienced user, the expert staff provide hands-on sessions that enable effective navigation of flow cytometry. They assist with selecting the appropriate channels, gating populations, and sorting cells, ensuring accuracy and precision in the process. I highly recommend this facility to fellow scientists who seek to achieve excellence in flow cytometry. 

The flow core at TRI has been an exceptional help in my research, the team is always willing to go above and beyond for users. As an external user from UQ, they endeavour to ensure that use of the flow facilities are seamless and easy. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and their invaluable help in the implementation of my high dimensional flow panel. They are always there to answer questions or offer advice. I would also like to mention how thorough and efficient the training processes are within flow core, from introduction courses to analysis guides – the team will make sure you know exactly what you’re doing.
