The Iain Fraser Cytometry Centre (IFCC) is a multi-user cytometry facility approved for both GMO and BSL2 work. Our mission is to provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, supported by expert scientific and technical guidance in flow cytometry. We work closely with researchers to deliver innovative flow cytometry solutions tailored to the needs of diverse fields, including environmental science, water quality, food safety, plant and animal research, as well as preclinical and clinical studies. The IFCC gratefully acknowledges the following funding sources for equipment acquisitions: Dr Iain Fraser, University of Aberdeen, Saving Sight for Grampian, SULSA, Friends of Anchor, and The Gordon and Emily Baxter Foundation.

 

Access Terms and Conditions: 

• Users must have an active IFCC iLab account;
• All experiments must comply with the biosafety regulations, IFCC and University Policy;
• Only Core Staff can train users on the instruments;
• Samples must be transported in a double-sealed container and capped tubes used. This protects both the samples and the public.
• Before you leave IFCC, please switch the instrument off if required. The policy of keeping instruments “ON” or “OFF” depends on the time of the day and scheduled bookings

 

What Services do you offer?

The core has a dedicated tissue culture suit and wet bench laboratory facilities to support wet bench work pipelines for your experimental needs. 

The Facility operates on a fee-for-use basis following university recharge policies. Access to the IFCC facility is provided to University of Aberdeen faculty and staff, external academics, for-profit companies and commercial scientists through fee-for-service, project basis, partnerships, and collaboration.

Note: Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS): The cell sorter is core staff-operated only. All experiments must be discussed and scheduled with IFCC staff in advance.
