Biomedical Imaging Research Unit

Becton Dickinson LSR II analyser

Researchers should contact the staff member in charge (details below) to arrange a time for training and PC2 induction. After training has been completed, LSR II users are able to book time on the machine and run and analyse samples independently. Booking are managed through the BIRU Scheduler, which is a web-based booking system. Staff support is available as necessary.
