Aotearoa Genomic Data Repository

The Aotearoa Genomic Data Repository (AGDR) is a unique online resource for the storage and sharing of digital genomic data on the taonga species of Aotearoa. 

The repository has been jointly developed by Genomics Aotearoa and the New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) to provide a secure place for the Aotearoa research community to store and to share genomic data within a Māori values context, following the principles of Māori Data Sovereignty.  

Researchers can deposit, browse and request access to data sets via the data repository.  Follow the link for a list of the data sets available, and for instructions on how to request access and make submissions, visit the repository website: https://data.agdr.org.nz/

Cytek Aurora

The Cytek Aurora is spectral analyser cytometer with immense potential. It detects the whole spectrum of emitted light. The machine here has 4 lasers, including ultraviolet, violet, blue and red. This modern machine is a game changer, enabling large panels that you could only previously see using mass cytometry. With good controls and planning, 25 to 30 colour panels are possible.

Due to the fundamental difference between standard cytometry and spectral cytometry, the flow unit offers comprehensive training in spectral cytometry panel design, machine/software use and big data analysis.

This machine has an automated sample loader attached for high throughput analysis. It can hold 96 well plates or up to 40x 5ml FACs tubes. It is also customisable. Please ask the OMNI flow team for more information.

There is no fluorochrome guide, as if the fluorochrome can be excited in this cytometer then it can be detected.

BD LSRFortessa Flow Cytometer

The Fortessa is a 16 channel analyser cytometer, good for multicolour panels up to 10-12 colours.
