Field of activity


Expertise and tools for molecular and physiopathological exploration, from the single cell to the entire living organism via imaging and flow cytometry techniques.

– Imaging
– Flow Cytometry
– High-speed cell sorting

The activity of this multi-site platform is organized around 3 major areas of expertise:

  • Imaging: morphometric analyses, macroscopy, confocal microscopy, spectral microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, long-term time-lapse microscopy, whole-slide imaging, morphological & functional echography.
  • Flow Cytometry: cellular and molecular analyses, spectral analyses, imaging flow cytometry.
  • High-speed cell sorting: cell sorting and cloning.
