These measurements are performed on each individual particle based on the amount of light dispersed and the fluorescence emitted by the particles radiated by a source of light. Thus, flow cytometry is a fast, sensitive and semi-quantitative system used to simultaneously characterize the different parameters of a single cell contained in a cell suspension.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Service portfolio&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1526898778618-dbad7d01-c207&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>The Flow Cytometry Unit enables the researchers of the i+12 Institute to implement the following techniques and methodologies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Analysis of heterogeneous cell populations.<\/li>\n<li>Immunophenotyping assays.<\/li>\n<li>Analysis of the cell cycle, apoptosis mechanisms and cell viability.<\/li>\n<li>Analysis of the efficacy of transfections and transductions.<\/li>\n<li>Analysis of intracellular signaling pathways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Facilities and infrastructure&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1526898783078-dac881ec-c591&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>To apply these techniques and methodologies, the Flow Cytometry Unit of the i+12 Institute features the following high-tech equipment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FACSCalibur Flow Cytometry (Becton Dickinson).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The use of this equipment is managed through the <em>Schemas<\/em> application whereby the equipment of the i+12 Institute is reserved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Staff and contact information&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1526898783651-4776bbea-4a72&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cytometer Manager: Dr. Gabriel Criado Carrasco\n<ul>\n<li>E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:gcriado@h12o.es\">gcriado@h12o.es<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Telephone No.: 91 390 87 67<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Rates&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1526898784346-4eece321-5cb9&#8243;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"http:\/\/imas12.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/Servicios\/Rates_ENG\/Cytometry rates 2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access to rates of the Flow Cytometry Unit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs style=&#8221;modern&#8221; color=&#8221;orange&#8221; active_section=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Overview&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1526898778589-0d2abd2f-1cdf&#8221;][vc_column_text] The Research Institute of the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre enjoys the support of the Flow Cytometry Unit based in the \u201cResearch Centre\u201d building of said hospital.
