Approval must be obtained from the Facility Manager for cell analysis or sorting. After an initial consultation, the user may gain access to the FACScanto II through the online scheduler. Requests for use of all other cytometers must be made by contacting the Facility Manager. Please be aware that occasionally the sorter is booked more than one month in advance.

We are able to assist with a number of cryo-preservation techniques suitable for uses such as CyTOF, flow cytometry and functional assays.

We can assist with customized or standard Cytek panels.

Primarily for blood related samples (PBMC, WBC, serum, plasma).

We use Miltenyi MACS magnetic cell separation. This can be performed on human or mouse tissues.

Extracting cells from solid tissue (e.g., tumors, spleen, lymph nodes, etc.) for flow cytometry requires skill with tissue dissociation, we can help.

Collecting useful cells for analysis from bone marrow can be tricky, but we are here to assist.

The Agilent Seahorse XFe96 can be used to perform metabolic assays such as; mitochondrial function, ATP rate, Cell energy phenotype, Glycolytic rate and more. Ask for more details.

Our Shared Resource can provide the needed instrumentation, expertise and support for assays such as: T cell proliferation & activation, ELISA, functional phenotyping, genomic immune profiling and more. Ask for more details.

If your lab is in a time crunch, isn't ready to receive training, or you have a particularly challenging sample, our experienced staff are available to run your experiment for you.

The rate will be equal to instrument time (per hour) plus a staff labor charge (see iLab for "assisted use" rates, the rates vary depending on the instrument). There may be an additional set-up fee. We can provide a quote to estimate costs in advance of the service.

Choosing the right instrument for your experimental needs and the corresponding fluorescent labels that will work best with that instrument is best done in consultation with our staff. Please reach out to us and we are glad to help.
