Wonderful pre-event dinner with the FlowJo experts from Waters Biosciences (Formerly BD Biosciences), visiting from the USA at Gloria Leuven ☺️
Stepping outside the meeting rooms and connecting in a more relaxed setting always sparks the best ideas..

Bring on your samples in 2026!
Because what’s Christmas Eve without one last sort experiment? 😉
Year wrapped with the final sort session alongside Lidiia Rumiantseva and now, we are ready to jingle all the way into the new year 🎄📊✨

Had a fantastic time catching up with Lotte Carr from @stemcell.com!
We definitely had some exciting collaboration possibilities simmering.! Can you guess what's “cooking up” next? 😉
Stay tuned! 👀

Ever get that "chosen one" feeling? ⚡
The @vibflowcore-lv.bsky.social is now one of only 6 facilities in EMEA running the newly released BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Chorus v6.1 software.
This means:
✅ More powerful sorting (4 & 6-way)
✅ Simplified spectral unmixing
✅ Enhanced data control & collaboration
The VIB Flow Core teams from Leuven & Ghent are diving deep into #CYTO2025! Catch their posters, talk & workshop today and tomorrow. Come say hi & talk science with them!

Jochen Lamote and Dharshini Raju from the @vibflowcore-lv.bsky.social joined the BD Horizon meeting in Eindhoven last week, diving into spectral panel design, the S8 platform & new antibody previews.
Need help updating your cytometry panels? The Flow Core’s got you covered.
We are happy to inform that Jochen Lamote, Head of the VIB Flow Core Leuven, is on the speaker lineup for the Nordic Flow Cytometry Meeting 2025 in Copenhagen from August 20-22, 2025. Don't miss out Jochen’s talk on imaging cell sorting in the plenary session 'Frontiers in Flow Cytometry'.
Dining and dialogue of the Jochen (VIB) and Jochen (Borstel) team ☺️ An evening well spent with the Borstel Fluorescence Cytometry team – Martina and Manuel Hein. Team dinners like this are a great reminder that amazing things happen when we come together.!

We took the Thermo Bigfoot Cell Sorter for a spin at CRG in Barcelona. We were impressed by the accuracy of sorted large cells(hepatocytes) into a 384-well plate using the straight-down plate sorting option.
Big thanks to Oscar Fornas for hosting us at CRG.
In a recent study from the Da Cruz Lab @cbdresearch.bsky.social, Jens Rummens et al. used image-based FACS on the S8 to distinguish cells with or without TDP-43 aggregates. @vibflowcore-lv.bsky.social
Congrats to the entire team! 👏

In a true collaborative effort between the @vibflowcore-lv.bsky.social, Borstel Flow Core, VIB Metabolomics Core, and Cellular Highways, bacteria-infected macrophages were sorted at 97% purity on the Highway1, and the output analyzed using imaging cytometry.
Jochen Lamote was present in spirit! 📸😊
