The Flow Cytometry Facility is equipped with flow cytometers and cell sorters that enable researchers to examine cell samples within the range of the micron. The facility's research staff engage in experimentation, training, project collaboration, and consultation. Specifically, staff members train customers in experimental design, sample preparation, and the use of equipment, as well as provide guidance in the interpretation of results.
