Biohazard Flow Cytometry The Biohazard Flow Cytometry Core provides high-speed cell sorting and multiparameter flow cytometric analysis for work involving agents posing a documented or potential biohazard. The laboratory is set up to enable high-speed sorting and analysis of unfixed human primary cells and cell lines under conditions that comply with safety standards recommended by the International Society for Analytical Cytology and approved by our Institutional Biosafety Committee. Resources are also available for sorting and analysis of various infectious agents, including many human pathogens such as HIV requiring up to Biosafety Level 2 containment.
