Cytometry


The Cytometry Center is a state-of-the-art flow cytometry laboratory that provides Stowers investigators with a resource for analytical and preparative studies of cells using flow cytometry. The cytometry facility staff provides a full range of services including routine sample processing, cell staining, data analysis and strategic planning for novel assays and custom cell sorting applications.  Collaborative projects encompass a broad scope of research topics and often result from a group effort among several of the institute’s core facilities.
