Biocontainment Level 2 high-parameter FACS: applications for the Cambridge biological sciences community (360G-Wellcome-218300_Z_19_Z)

£479,450

Provision of cutting edge cell-sorter, with class II biocontainment to allow flexible workflows as applied to a broad range of studies within the Cambridge biomedical research community. The acquisition of a CL2 high-parameter cell-sorter will provide critical ability to purify live-cell populations. This capability is desperately needed to match the explosive growth in high-parameter single-cell analysis in the Cambridge biomedical community (high-parameter flow-cytometry, CyTOF mass-spec, single-cell (sc)-RNA-seq). Parallel cell-sorting capacity of mouse and human live-cells is crucial for validation of findings, and in-depth exploration of the biology of highly purified cell populations. Currently, there is no capacity in Cambridge for high-parameter CL2-designated cell-sorting. This Wellcome Trust multi-user equipment grant application will provide a critical resource to the Cancer Research UK, Cambridge Institute (CRUK-CI), and wider Cambridge biomedical community.
