Guidelines for acknowledging work supported by the QMRI Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility

In line with the CMVM Fair Publication Policy, the QMRI Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility encourage their users to ensure that a relevant acknowledgement is included in the relevant section of their manuscript, stating that the flow cytometry data generated and thus the study would not have been possible without the presence of the facility's resources (both staff and resources).
