Multiuser equipment approved in grant 2013/13691-1 - for acquisition of AMNIS flow-sight - Millipore

Abstract

The equipment is a confocal/facs allowing the separation of cells and the simultaneous evaluation of molecular markers and cell structures. In the project AMNIS will allow the analysis of phenotypic changes, gene expression, cell interaction, receptor expression and transduction pathways definition. In our project our goal is to understand the mechanisms involved in the activation and dysfunction of the immune-pineal axis. The Amnis is a quite versatile equipment that can be used by any researcher interested in understanding cellular function.The functional analysis is facilitated with AMNIS as simultaneously with cells separation we can evaluate the function of complex tissue.
