The Flow Cytometry Core provides individualized cytometry services to support researchers at the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center, the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC, and other academic institutions in the Pittsburgh area.
The Flow Cytometry Core provides the following services:
- Staff-assisted analysis and cell sorting
- Training for self-users of the cell sorters
- Training for FlowJo software
- Off-line data analysis
- Design/troubleshooting of cytometry protocols
- “Super-users”- training for users of the cell sorters and granted access during off-hours
Trained super-users may access cell sorters during off-hours, and a consultation is required for all first-time users.
Courtesy Service
