Flow Cytometry

 
  
Description:

The flow cytometry multi-user core facility has both north and south campus locations. The facility is equipped with two FACScans, three FACSCaliburs, a CyAn, and a LSR II for user operated data acquisition.  Users are trained to run the benchtop analyzers and billing is calculated in half hour increments.

  •   FACScan - single laser instrument, 488nm,  capable of three fluorescent colors
  •   FACSCalibur - dual laser instrument with lasers at 488nm and 635nm, capable of four fluorescent colors *
  •   CyAn - a three laser, nine color instrument, with lasers at 488nm, 405nm, and 635nm

        LSR II - a four laser, sixteen color instrument, with lasers at 488nm, 532nm, 405nm, and 635nm laser *
* The Calibur and LSRII on the north campus are both equipped with a HTS, high throughput system, to acquire sample directly from a 96 or 384 well plate.

There are five cell sorters available for use in the facility, the MoFlo, and three Arias are operated by facility staff only.  The AutoMacs is user operated.

  •   MoFlo - three laser, nine color, high speed sorter with lasers at 488nm, 633nm, and 360nm
  •   Aria - a five laser, eighteen color, high speed sorter with lasers at 488nm, 532nm, 405nm, 635nm
  •   AutoMacs – Automated benchtop magnetic cell sorter.

Training is mandatory for access to the benchtop analyzers.  Training is $75 and should be scheduled when an experiment is available.


Computers and multiple software packages are available for data analysis free of charge to users.
