Staff availablility

Staff are available for questions and advice on experimental design, data acquisition and data analysis, however making an appointment with staff is requested. The most convenient was to contact the flow cytometry facility is via email, as staff may not always be in the lab or available to answer questions on the spot.

Data Storage

Data files (.fcs) are stored remotely on each instrument's computer.  Files will be deleted randomly when hard drives become full.  Therefore, it is the responsibility of each user to backup and store data files for future use.  Files can be saved onto USB keys, CD or DVD.

Fees

The fees charged by the flow cytometry facility cover only the running and maintenance costs of the facility.  Users are charged based on time spent on the instrument and not on time booked and will be billed quarterly.
