Flow Cytometry Core Equipment

Please click the links below to learn more about each machine and access their respective SOPs, manuals, tips, and other resources.  Machines are divided according to their location.  Access to instrumentation will be granted after training or an induction has been completed.  In order to keep the instruments in good working order, users are expected to abide by the detailed use instructions and cleaning procedures included in the instrument standard operating procedures (SOPs) below. Should a user make deviations from the SOP that result in instrument downtime or which inhibits others from typical use, the user at fault may be charged for troubleshooting time, part repair/replacement, and/or technician time. If you have questions about how to properly use or maintain an instrument, please contact Aaron Rae. If an instrument is malfunctioning or not working well, please immediately report the issue.
