WELCOME to The UNC FLOW CYTOMETRY FACILITY

The UNC Flow Cytometry Facility provides state-of-the-art flow cytometry and related services to the entire UNC-CH research community as well as to others in the Research Triangle Park area.   The Facility provides analytic flow cytometry utilizing Cytek-modified 5-color FACScan and FACSCalibur and three 9-color Dako CyAns.  Sorting is provided by a Dako MoFlo, a Dako MoFlo XDP, and an iCyt Reflection.  A skilled staff provides help with instrument setup, data analysis, and consultation for experiment design.  Training is available to enable investigators and their staff to run the analytical cytometers themselves at reduced cost. A major part of our mission is to teach this technology to investigators, students, and staff.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about flow cytometry, if you want to know if you can use it in your research, how to design experiments, prepare samples, or how to analyze your data.
