Imperial College donated a Flow Cytometer to the biohacker group. There is a good description of how a flow cytometer works here; http://probes.invitrogen.com/resources/education/tutorials/4Intro_Flow/player.html
It was donated as working, but in need of repair.
The machine requires a dust free environment due to it's use of lasers and optics. Hence we are currently planning further inspection work.
I am currently looking to obtain a copy of the service manual.
