The Institute of Cancer Research Flow Cytometry Facility

The Flow Cytometry Facilities at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, play a vital role in our work to better understand the fundamentals of cancer biology and immunology, and is helping to guide new research in biomarkers and drug discovery. The ICR’s flow cytometry facility supports the research of both our internal users – at the ICR and our partner hospital The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust – and external researchers from universities, other research institutes and industry. Our Flow Cytometry Facilities are also supported by an expert team in flow cytometry, based across both our Chelsea and Sutton sites. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art flow cytometers for single cell analysis and cell sorting. We provide technical support, troubleshooting and training for all users as well as help with experimental and panel design, application support and data analysis as well as cell sorting services. Access to the facility and the instruments are available post training.
