Flow Cytometric Cell Sorting Core Facility
The Flow Cytometric Cell Sorting Facility provides technical services on aseptic sorting for non-infectious animal cells. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting technology (FACS) can isolate specific cell populations by their distinctive fluorescence patterns via dye labeling, with a high purity rate of over 98%. Isolated cells can be further cultured or applied to subsequent cellular functional analysis, such as nucleotide assays, protein quantification, image analysis, or in vivo assays by injecting into animals. This core facility hosts two sorters for cell sorting services, operated by two professional technicians.
