Background

SingHealth Flow Cytometry Core Platform has been in operation since 2013. Over the years, the platform has expanded its influence, serving SingHealth laboratories, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) laboratories, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and beyond. The platform is equipped with 2 flow cytometers mainly for cell analysis and flow cell sorting. These instruments come with different optical configurations which suit most flow cytometry-based applications. Dedicated platform staff cater to the needs of users, customising collection formats and aiding in high-parameter panel design for sorting. Besides providing reliable and affordable flow cytometry services, the core strives to expand usage of flow cytometry as a common research tool. Workshops and seminars are organized periodically to reach out to and educate potential users of its capabilities.
