Analysis

Analytical Flow Cytometry - FACSCalibur

The Flow Facility has two 4-color analog FACSCaliburs, one located in 3-4100 area, and one on the 3rd floor of the MRB.

FACSCalibur

Analytical Flow Cytometry - FACSCanto II

The Flow Facility is equipped with a 3-laser, 14-paramenter Becton-Dickinson LSR-II for analytic flow cytometry. Because of the unique optical bench, the system has a great deal of flexibility in the exact fluorochromes that can be detected.

 

Analytical Flow Cytometry - LSR II 18-Color

This is a state-of-the-art digital flow cytometer is capable of detecting 18 fluorochromes simultaneously. This system uses a 532 nm laser for excitation of PE and PE-tandems, improving their signal strenght. The system is also capable of detecting Q-Dot conjugated molecules.
