Laboratory



The cytometry platform of the Institut Curie is a dynamic laboratory whose main activity consists in providing access to cytometry technologies (in service or in collaboration) to the scientists of the Institut Curie and more broadly to the national and international scientific community, public or private. With 20+ instruments located in Paris, Orsay and St Cloud, the platform welcomes more than 300 users per year and is involved in numerous scientific projects. The IBISA label obtained in 2021 attests and promotes the quality approach undertaken in recent years.

Resolutely focused on innovation, the cytometry platform features "state of the art" technologies: spectral cytometry, image cytometry, and more to come. Well recognized in the field, the platform is part of several national, European and global networks and co-coordinates the Single Cell Initiative internal to the Institute.
