Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Waterloo
$149,519.00
Multi-user flow cytometer for biomedical and bioengineering research
FY 2009-10
Summary
When developing vaccines, new biological or artificial materials to be implanted in the body or new ways to track stem cells to design better therapies, it is important to be able to characterize how cells react to these new engineered environments. The flow cytometer will enable the analysis of cells as well as small biological particles. The equipment will be shared between three researchers and their direct collaborators and will be used extensively by their students. Unlimited access and shared use will ensure that the equipment is used to its full capacity and will also foster productive collaboration between the researchers.
The flow cytometer will support research that can significantly contribute to the development of better therapies and medical devices for Canadians.
