FACS & Imaging Core Facility
SERVICES
The FACS & Imaging Core Facility is home to 30 bookable resources, including wide-field and confocal microscopes, flow cytometry analyzers and sorters, shared histology equipment, and PC workstations for data analysis.
We provide additional services such as software training, access to analysis software, and help with experimental planning and post-acquisition analysis.
INSTRUMENTS
Flow cytometry (FACS)
Flow Cytometry is a technology that simultaneously measures and analyzes multiple physical characteristics of single cells or other particles as they move in a stream of liquid and pass a beam of light.
Microscopy (Imaging)
Microscopy is the technology of using microscopes to view samples and objects that cannot be seen with the unaided eye.
Histology Lab
The histology unit hosts equipment for the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues including instruments for fixing, processing, embedding, sectioning, and staining.
