Cell Analysis Facility - Flow Cytometry

The Cell Analysis Facility is located in the Department of Immunology. The facility provides a broad range of instrumentation and expertise for addressing experimental issues related to single cells. The Facility makes available state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques while developing new ways of answering questions about the nature and function of cells. Not only is instrumentation available to the University community, but it is intended that the Facility contribute to all aspects of the research process. This includes consultation in experimental design, technical assistance in the operation of the instruments, distribution of raw data files, archival data storage, offline data analysis workstations, interpretation of results, and the provision of facilities for the preparation and production of presentation graphics. The facility hosts a server that provides over 1TB of on-line access to link investigators and their laboratories to their collected data from anywhere using FTP. Workstations for data analysis are available in the computer lab free of charge.
