VUMC Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Core (FCSR)

 

Overview of Services

We enjoy state-of-the-art digital instrumentation maintained at the highest standards we can attain. This quality control allows researchers to sort cells at high efficiency and purity under the proper conditions or to run analytical experiments with as many as 21 different fluorochromes simultaneously.  We are dedicated to providing the best service and training possible to ensure the best results attainable for our research scientists and physicians. When time permits we are available for scientific collaborations to encourage the career growth of the FCSR staff. Please investigate the pages of this website to address your scheduling needs and questions relating to flow cytometry research, methods and fees.   Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have.
