Exciting advances in medicine and technology continue to improve the quality of care for leukaemia patients. However, specialist equipment is expensive. Leuka helps to cover the cost for specific clinical and research equipment where grants or NHS resources are not adequate.

With your help, Leuka can buy equipment for:

  • Sequencing genes that may be involved in leukaemia
  • Distinguishing and sorting individual leukaemia cells by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS)
  • Magnifying short gene sequences by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) so that they can be studied more easily
