The Flow Cytometry FACS unit provides flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting service for biomedical investigators from the Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital, the University Hospital LMU Munich, as well as external collaborators.

We offer state-of-the-art equipped flow cytometer instrumentation, including a BD LSRFortessa™ (5 laser; self-run acquisition), BD FACSAria™ III (4 laser; performed by expert technicians), and autoMACS (Miltenyi Biotec). Moreover, we provide two workstations for data analysis.

The FACS unit staff is specialized to train and assist researchers with analysis and sorting, e.g., experimental design, acquisition, and analysis of data from multi-parametric flow cytometric experiments.

Please contact the FACS unit staff for any issues regarding access to the FACS research facility, introduction, training, and assistance, including protocol design, instrument operation, data analysis, and troubleshooting. Interested researchers are also invited to visit the FACS unit and meet the staff to discuss research.
