Technical manager : Aude Barani

 

The PRECYM flow-cytometry platform of the MIO is specialized in the analysis of microorganisms at the single-cell level by flow cytometry, including the identification, counting, sorting, and characterization of the physiology, viability and activities of aquatic microorganisms. PRECYM is sometimes called the Technological Platform of Aix-Marseille University, by GIS IBiSA, and the Pôle Mer.

PRECYM offers the teams of the MIO, alongside any unit or research institute in the public or private domain, to benefit from its equipment and know-how. PRECYM operates in several fields at the national and international level through its three missions, which are research and development, coaching, and training:

  • Support for the development and/or improvement of an experimental protocol
  • Technological developments
  • Assistance in the analysis and interpretation of cytometry data and results
  • Training in flow-cytometry technology (theory and practice)
  • Training in the use of platform instruments
  • Expertise for private laboratories for both analysis and sample sorting

PRECYM is co-financed by the European Union, via the European Regional Development Funds.
