The Cytometry Core Facility offers instrumentation to analyze and quantify the characteristics of cells and particles in suspension as they stream in single file past a laser beam. Two instruments are available for use. The FACScan (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) is capable of acquiring and analyzing data from five parameters that include: Relative size, granularity or cell complexity, and three fluorescence channels. The excitation source is a 15mW Argon Laser tuned to 488nm. The FACSAria (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) adds six fluorescence parameters and two lasers: 407nm, and 633nm. The sorting function of this instrument enables the researcher to physically separate individual cells and particles from a mixed population. Viable cells can be recovered for further study or culture.
We also offer information about new techniques, instrumentation and applications of flow cytometry provided through Biotechnology-sponsored workshops and seminars.
Individual consultation services are available to discuss applications and methodologies specific to your project.
