UC Flow Cytometry Core

William Miller PhD

The Flow Core supports a Beckman CytoFLEX S with 9 detectors and 4 lasers in CARE 2874 and a FACSCalibur 4 color flow cytometer system in CARE 2876.  Access is available 24 hrs a day and 7 days per week once investigators are registered in Stratocore and approved by the core director.

To book equipment and/or access services from the Flow Core, please login or create an account in Stratocore at https://ppms.us/uc/start/.

For access to the instruments and the online calendar, please contact Dr. Miller.
