Upgrade to state-of-the-art flow cytometric equipment

该应用程序寻求对圭尔夫大学病理生物学系现有的流式细胞仪基础设施进行关键升级。我们目前的FACSAria I细胞仪自2006年安装以来一直是该部门的核心仪器。由于流式细胞术领域的快速发展，FACSAria I不再符合样品处理、容器和高效细胞分选的标准。一台新仪器的标价为626,000美元；然而，对现有底盘实施经过充分验证的升级，可以将FACSAria I转换为最先进的FACSAria IIU，而成本仅为完全更换的一小部分。

This application seeks critical upgrades to existing flow cytometry infrastructure in the Department of Pathobiology at the University of Guelph. Our current FACSAria I cytometer has been a core instrument for the department since its installation in 2006. Due to rapid advances in the field of flow cytometry, the FACSAria I no longer meets standards for sample handling, containment and high-efficiency cell sorting. List price for a new instrument is $626,000; however, implementing a well-validated upgrade to the existing chassis converts the FACSAria I into a state-of-the-art FACSAria IIu at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
