Imperial College donated a Flow Cytometer. 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.
Imperial College donated a Flow Cytometer. The unit is too large to be stored in the biolab (1.8m X 0.8m = 1.44 square meters of floor space)


'''Status:''' Currently waiting for basement plumbing to complete, before proceeding with fixing the fluid-assembly at the front right of the instrument. It needs a dust cover, or some protection to access the laser cabinet.
'''Status:''' We are going to dismantle it for parts.


There are a number of large external units some of 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, so I hope to move these into out-of-the-way storage, under the worktop in the biolab)
