The Flow Cytometry Core Facility was established in 1981. It then consisted of one tiny room within the tissue culture facility which housed a BD FACS II sorter. Today the Core houses several cell sorters and analyzers as well as a recently acquired Cytek Amnis ImageStream mkII imaging cytometer. The Core has a professional and courteous staff to answer technical questions and assist you in setting up flow cytometry experiments. Our staff can assist in cell sorting, acquiring and analyzing data as well as training for self-use of select sorters, analyzers and software. The Core Facility has BSL-2⁺ and BSL-3 sorting available. Feel free to drop in or call to discuss your experimental needs.

The Flow Cytometry Core Facility is located on the 5th floor of the student lab wing in the Medical School, room S5-322. Please call 508-856-3276 for scheduling and questions.
