Flow cytometry facilitates the analysis and isolation of cells based on physical and chemical properties and is an essential component of leukemia research. We consult with investigators on experiment design and provide services for sample preparation, data collection, analysis and cell sorting. Consultation, operation, maintenance and training for equipment is managed by Pooja Singh and Josi Lott.

Impact

The Flow Cytometry core provides research groups in the Department of Pathology and CELS access to instrumentation that produces reliable and reproducible high-quality data. Access to self-operated analyzers and cell sorters allows the researcher flexibility to plan and execute experiments as per their own convenience and priority.
