The new Laboratory at the Nencki Institute

logo25Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Warsaw established new Laboratory of Cytometry, which will be headed by Dr Katarzyna Piwocka. Laboratory will provide core-facility service, high quality expertize and training in flow cytometry for in-house and outside investigators. Laboratory will be also involved in the research and innovative projects, based on the high-tech flow cytometry applications. Lab members will provide training, organize courses and workshops in advanced flow cytometry techniques. Currently, Laboratory of Cytometry is equipped with the BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer, FACS Aria cell sorter and iCys scanning cytometer. In the near future the 4-laser LSR Fortessa cytometer will be established, which is currently the best analyser on the market, and provides high-quality multiparameter cytometric analysis. All researchers are warmly invited for collaboration.

Investigations of bismuth nanowires
It has been several years since the International Laboratory of High Magnetic Fields and Low Temperatures started investigating nanowires of bismuth (in the form of single crystalline nanowires) at temperatures 1.5-300 K and in high magnetic fields (up to 14 T). These nanowires have diameter between 30 nm and 200 nm and have been obtained via crystallization of bismuth liquid in thin glass capillaries.
