Flow Cytometry Core<\/h1>

The Flow Cytometry Core facility operates on a fee-for-service basis, which allows for partial cost recovery for operating expenses and service contracts for the instruments. A portion of the facility operating and instrumentation costs are provided through financial support from the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and Foundation, University of British Columbia and Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) awards to contributing investigators.

Facility Overview<\/h2>

Flow cytometry is a powerful technology used for characterizing and analyzing cells. The fluidics, optics, and electronics systems in flow cytometry work together to simultaneously measure and analyze multiple physical characteristics of particles, usually, cells, as they move in a fluid stream through a beam of light. A flow cytometer can tell us about a particle\u2019s relative size, fluorescence intensity, and granularity or internal complexity. The BCCHR Flow Core Facility provides equipment for flow cytometric analysis and full-service cell sorting, as well as flow cytometry training and education for new users.<\/p>
