Email this pageWelcome 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 II(8-colors) and 3 LSR-II’s (an 11-color, 12-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 Rochester 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.
