Welcome to URMC Flow Cytometry Resources

The mission of URMC Flow Cytometry Core is to provide investigators with state-of-the-art instrumentation along with the human expertise to support all that is possible now, while pushing the limits of what can be done with flow cytometry.

The Core currently has analytical tools including a FACSCanto (8-colors) and 3 LSR-II’s (two 11-color and an 18-color instrument) from BD Biosciences.  We also have a BD 13-color FACSAria cell sorter, and our recent acquisition, an Amnis ImageStream Imaging Cytometer. 

Instrumentation is only part of what we offer.  In close association with the Human Immunology Center , we also offer comprehensive training for your staff, consultation for maximizing  the effectiveness and cost of your experiments, as well as an environment that fosters success in both existing methods and crossing the boundaries into new frontiers

New and Noteworthy

A note to users of the FACSVantage instruments:

These will be going offline as of August 1, 2008. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the FACSAria and Diva software utilized by the Flow Core. It is also recommended that you validate any protocols on the FACSAria before experimentation is done. Please contact Tim if you have any further questions.

 

Additional information about the billing system in use has been added to the Billing link on the left panel. Please review the new information and speak with Tim if there are any questions or concerns.

The 12-color LSRII in the Flow Lab is now online! The laser configuration is the same as the 11-color LSRII in the HIC with the exception of the Violet laser. Head over to the Analysis page to find information about this difference. Reservations can be made here as well.

The new FACSCanto is on-line and available for use. This is an 8-color insturment running DIVA 6.1. You will need a log-in account. If you do not have one, you will need to apply for one here.

Our new calendar is on-line. Please bookmark http://hic-server.urmc.rochester.edu/cgi-bin/flowcore/flowcore.pl . You will need a log-in to make reservations. You can apply for one here.

We will be bringing on-line a new 12-color LSR-II in early June.
