The Flow Cytometry Core provides investigators with instrumentation and support for cell sorting as well as acquisition and analysis of flow cytometry data.

Core Description

The following instruments are available in the Flow Cytometry Core: Three BD FACSAriaII cell sorters from BD Biosciences. All sorters provide high-speed, high purity multi-parameter cell sorting into tubes and are also capable of single cell sorting directly into 96-well plates. One BD FACSAriaII cell sorter is available for operation by trained users and the other one is operated by the core staff only. BD X20, BD LsrFortessa, BD FACSCanto II and  BD FACSCalibur analyzers are also available. These instruments allow analysis of up to 18 fluorescent parameters. New users are provided with training before being able to operate the instruments.
