The Flow Cytometry Facility provides access to state-of-the-art technology and quantitative analytical approaches to measure molecular and cellular function.  The Facility is designed to meet the wide-spread needs for specialized cytologic analysis by providing instrumentation for cell sorting and bench-top analysis of subcellular components using multiparametric fluorescence detection technology.

Services

  • Bench-top analyses ranging from simple protein expression assays using fluorescent reporters to highly complex 9-color functional assays;
  • Cell sorting at bulk rates of 30,000 cells per second or in microtiter format;
  • Development of novel fluorescence-based detection assays and applications;
  • Data analysis using Flowjo; and
  • Education and training in use and application of all instrumentation and software analysis programs within the Facility.
