A spectral flow cytometry platform for the Australian Capital Territory

This application will support the purchase of 5-laser Cytek Aurora spectral flow cytometer to be housed at the Australian National University. Spectral flow cytometers allow for the rapid acquisition of large amounts of data about individual cells and have applications in many fields of the life sciences. Acquiring this technology will enhance research in veterinary microbiology, environmental pest control, synthetic biology, and plant sciences. This investment will accelerate research, foster collaborations, and help maintain the position of institutions in the Australian Capital Territory at the forefront of innovative biological science.
