What We Do
We provide state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise in flow cytometry and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). As a full-service core facility, we can prepare and run samples for our clients or train them in all aspects of running samples independently, including cell sorting. We offer in-depth consultation onhigh-parameter antibody panels and experimental design to ensure high-quality data.
