ACCESS GENEVA

ACCESS Geneva

ACCESS GENEVA is an expertise center specialized in Automated confocal microscopy,  High-content screening (HCS), High-throughput screening (HTS) and Flow cytometry cell sorting (FACS).

We provide expertise and infrastructure to support and deliver projects from Swiss academia or industry and offer a fully automated station with state-of-the-art equipment, technologies and methodologies. ​

Our technologies allow the precise identification and quantification of very diverse phenotypes from most of current biological models (2D and 3D).

Screening projects can involve several types of model perturbations such as RNA interference, small molecules or mutations to study very diverse biological processes.
