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:

Cell Sorters: FACSSymphonyS6, FACSAriaIII, FACSAriaII cell sorter 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- and 384-well plates. The cell sorters are available for operation by trained users, and two of the instruments are also operated by the core staff.

Analyzers: BD FACSCantoII, BD LSRFortessa, BD LSRFortessa X20, BD FACSSymphonyA3, Cytek Aurora. These instruments allow the analysis of up to 64 fluorescent parameters. New users must complete training before they are permitted to operate the instruments.
