Clinical High-Speed Cell Separation Facility Location | Staff | Related Links The Clinical High-Speed Cell Separation Facility enables researchers involved in basic and translational cancer research to characterize and purify rare cell populations.   The Facility (view larger image)   In Flow Cytometry, living cells can be counted and sorted on the basis of fluorescence associated with expression of proteins outside and within cells, analysis of DNA content, viability and apoptosis, multiple drug resistance pump activity, enzyme activity, T-cell activation, T cell receptor specificity, cytokine expression, phagocytosis and oxidative burst activity. The facility relies on a Cytomation MoFlo high speed sorter capable of sorting in excess of 30,000 events per second into as many as 4 vessels. The facility's staff works collaboratively with cancer investigators whose research would benefit from the use of flow cytometry. We assist with the design of experiments, the use of the MoFlo, and the analysis of results. There are no charges for these services. Please contact us if you think flow cytometry might advance your cancer research.
