Flow cytometers are automated instruments that provide measures of the quantitative properties of single cells, one cell at a time. An analytical Flow Cytometry and/or High Speed Cell Sorter Facility may contain biological, chemical, radioactive, laser and other hazards. Biological exposures to infectious or potentially infectious materials may arise in a flow cytometry core from sample handling or from aerosols and droplets generated by the use of an analyzer or high-speed cell sorter.
