The FACS Melody cell sorter has a Windows 10 based operating system running FACSChorus software, and has 3 lasers and 9 fluorescent detectors giving it the ability to detect and sort most of the commercially available flow cytometry reagents. The Beckman-Coulter Galios analyzer has 2 lasers and 8 detectors allowing for fast and accurate analyses of samples.

The Core offers assistance with staining all types of cells, and offers Apoptosis and Cell Cycle assays which include staining and data interpretations.  Alan Tucker, BSMT (ASCP), who has over 20 years’ experience running this core, is also available to consult with investigators to help with the planning their experiments at no charge.
