-Imperial College donated a Flow Cytometer to the LHS biohacker group. The unit is currently sitting on 1.8m X 0.8m = 1.44 square meters of floor space in the PCB area of the basement. There are a number of "large" external units which are for providing power and cooling to the large laser. (I do not anticipate that the largest laser will be tested for some time)

+It was donated as working, but in need of repair. There is quite a lot of damage due to corrosion, and to the sampling area.
 The machine requires a dust free environment due to it's use of lasers and optics. Hence we are currently planning further inspection work.
