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 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 arrange 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).

If you wish to REQUEST a donation, submit a request to ISAC.  Click on the Request an Instrument tab at the Instruments for Science website, or go directly here.

If you wish to MAKE an donation or contribute financially to the program, contact Bill or Ray directly, or click on the Donate an Instrument at the Instruments for Science website.
