ISAC Instruments for Science (I4S)
Flow Cytometer Donation Information Resource











Welcome!  This site is an information resource for flow cytometers donated internationally by the National Cancer Institute from 2002 to 2024, and current donations made by the International Society for the Advancement of of Cytometry (ISAC) Instruments for Science (I4S) program.

To date these programs have donated almost 40 flow cytometers to laboratories on all six inhabited continents.  We arrage donation, assist with installation and maintenance, and organize formal instruction in flow cytometry through the ISAC Live Education Delivery program.  Many of these donations were made as part of Instrumental Access Award packages through Seeding Labs.

For initial information about the program and to inquire about international donations, contact Bill Telford (billflow@hotmail.com) or Ray Lannigan (rlannigan @gmail.com).
