To increase our technology and research capacity, in 2007 a new Flow Cytometry Laboratory was set up in our Institute (a 3-laser MoFlo Sorter-cytometer, DakoCytomation, USA), for detection, acquisition, and sorting of combined multi-fluorescent single cells of various origins. It is heavily used by many researchers from the Institute for their projects.
