Flow Cytometry and Immune Monitoring Core Facility
Transforming tomorrow By Powering Research Solutions

Flow Cytometry and Immune Monitoring Core Facility

The University of Kentucky Flow Cytometry and Immune Monitoring Core Facility offers state-of-the-art flow cytometry cell analysis, high-speed sorting, and immune functional analysis to the research community at UK, and has been in continuous operation since 1983.

Our skilled staff provide a variety of flow cytometric approaches for multiparameter fluorescent analysis and sorting of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell types and provide a variety of immune monitoring analyses to phenotype immune cell populations and functions. Cell sorting and analysis is also available for live human cells and infectious (BSL-2 level) samples. Training on analytical cytometers is available to investigators and their staff in order for laboratories to analyze their own samples at reduced cost.  

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about potential uses of flow cytometry for your research projects, how to appropriately design experiments for flow cytometry, prepare samples, or how to analyze your data.
