BV-CyAn
Flow Cytometry Platform
Presentation
The Cytometry Platform (acronym BV-CyAn) has been created in 2012 to provide access and develop this technology to the iBV research groups and is open to outside investigators. It offers a range of services centered on multiparametric cytometry and cell sorting.
BV-CyAn platform, by offering state-of-the-art flow cytometers and sorters, proposes to researchers, powerful ways to discriminate, analyse and sort/purify the distinct cell/organelle populations of interest to further study the genomic, proteomic and functional aspects of such purified populations.

Services
Provide access to cytometer users of the platform
teaching (users quickly become autonomous and independent in the use of analyzers), assistance (in the design of experiments, in the analysis, interpretation and presentation of results) and expertise
cell sorting
Provide technological development with new technical achievements
