Flow cytometry is considered to be a promising high-throughput technique for its ability to interrogate living cells at the single-cell level. Flow cytometry has become an extremely valuable tool in the microbiology, molecular biology, metabolic engineering, protein engineering and drug development research. As applications, in biology laboratory, flow cytometry enables the analysis of the different features or physiological states of bacteria, plant, fungi, microalgae, yeast and mammalian cells at the single cell level. In drug development laboratories, flow cytometry helps for identification of high content analysis, pre-clinincal drug development, imaging cytometry, phosphor-specific drug screening, and receptor pharmacology.By using flow cytometry, we planned to divide the heterogeneous microalgal population into different parts with respect to their lipid content and isolate the high, medium and low-lipid content cells of haptophycean microalgae at single-cell level; to develop novel techniques for microbial strain development. In details, flow cytometry will be helpful to enrich the particular number of cells from a heterogeneous population for specific applications

- User has to bring their samples personally or send through proper shipping under controlled conditions - User has to provide sample details about the type of samples and purpose, whether to perform sorting, analysis or both. - If sorting is required, user should bring their own test tubes or 96 well plates. - Users are encouraged to be present during the analysis of their samples. Users who are interested in specialised experiments are advised to contact Central Instrumentation facility, Bhatnagar Building of CSIR-NEIST, Jorhat-785 006 for an appointment. - All samples should accompany material safety data sheets (MSDS).
