CVM Flow Cytometry Core Facility

Welcome!

The CVM Flow Cytometry Core Facility is dedicated to supporting research, education and diagnostic personnel at UGA, other academic institutions and at corporations through shared flow cytometry resources. We provide expertise and training in general principles of flow cytometry, experimental design, operation of core equipment, data collection and analysis.

Operations and Pricing

Flow Cytometry is a powerful tool for analysis of:

  • cell cycle
  • proliferation
  • apoptosis
  • soluble proteins
  • cell surface and intracellular proteins
  • intracellular calcium and reactive oxygen species

To discuss any of these applications, your individual experimental design, or for general inquiries and applications to use the facility, please contact us at flowcore@uga.edu. Users will be trained by facility personnel in a manner consistent with the user's prior flow cytometry experience and intended applications.
