The Research Flow Cytometry Core Laboratory supports both internal and external investigators and operates within an IFR (Income Fund Reimbursable) account. It provides high quality, cost-effective, state-of-the art flow cytometry and multiparameter cell sorting instrumentation. These instruments are available for both independent use by investigators (after appropriate training by core staff) and assisted use with support from core staff. This core provides these services to investigators at Stony Brook University across west and east campuses, as well as several biotechnology companies at the nearby Long Island High Tech Incubator.
Equipment/Resources: The Flow Cytometry Research Core Facility is located in University Hospital Level 3-Room 705 and houses two instruments with a range of capabilities:
- FACSAria IIIu Cell Sorter (BD Biosciences) - Five lasers (375, 405, 488, 561 and 633 nm) with 12 fluorescent detectors; can sort up to 4 populations simultaneously
- LSR Fortessa (BD Biosciences) - 4 lasers (405, 488, 561 and 633 nm) with 16 fluorescent detectors, equipped with 96-well plate loader
Scheduling: All reservations must be made in advance online through iLab. https://cores.stonybrookmedicine.edu/account/login
