HSC Core Research Facilities
Flow Cytometry Facility*
Main
The Flow Cytometry Facility offers quantitative, multiparameter florescent analysis and cell sorting services to the research community. Two modified Becton-Dickinson FACScan analyzers (two laser, 5 fluorescence detectors) are available for user operation or core-operated service. Additionally, trained users may access the FACScans after hours and on weekends.
Cell sorting services are provided by the core staff on a FACSVantage SE Turbo high speed cell sorter which has three excitation lasers (UV, 488nm and 635nm) and 7 fluorescenece detectors. Sorted cells may be collected in bulk (tubes) or deposited in defined numbers of cells/well in a microtiter or other culture plate. A variety of flow cytometry specific, data analysis software is also available for the off-line analysis of data files by users or core staff.
