The CND Flow Cytometry Core Facility
The ARCND Flow Cytometry Core Facility is a multi-purpose, multi-instrument, multi-optional cell sorting and analyzing facility. We have 3 - BD FACSAria cell sorters and 3 multi-laser analyzers. Each sorter can sort cells based on 11 or 15 parameters, and sort the desired populations at one cell per well into plates or up to 4 tubes simultaneously. We have 3 analyzers ranging from a 3 laser - 8 color LSRII to 5 laser - 18 color BD Fortessa and 29 color BD A5 FACS Symphony.
