The CCR Building 41 Flow Cytometry Core is a full-service facility within the Center for Cancer Research that supports over 150 users representing 26 laboratories. The Core Facility provides instrument and software training, technical expertise, assay development, and experimental design for all users. The Core also offers sample preparation protocols and reagent recommendations, including fluorochrome panel setups for each flow cytometer and reagent cross-reactivity among species. The Core Manager provides assistance with data analysis and figure preparation for flow cytometry data presentation in publications. While the core staff are experienced in all areas of flow cytometry, they also have extensive expertise in 20+ color flow cytometry, non-human primate flow cytometry, mouse flow cytometry, and immune monitoring by flow cytometry.
The CCR Building 41 Flow Cytometry Core is open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Access to the facility is controlled by proximity card readers that respond to NIH ID badges. Users are granted access following completion of training on the instruments.
The core facility is staffed from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday-Friday. After-hours telephone support by the Facility Manager is available 7 days/week.
