The Scripps Florida Flow Cytometry Core (FCC) serves the Scripps Florida community as well as researchers from outside Scripps on a fee-for-service basis. Services offered include, cell sorting, analytic cytometry, laser microdissection and hematology.

FCC facility staff will perform all sorting on the FACS ARIA3.

Analytical applications include immuno-phenotyping, cell cycle analysis (DNA content, BrdU), and calcium flux (ratiometric imaging), among others. Additional modalities (FRET, intracellular organelle staining, etc.) can be developed in response to need; please talk to us about your specific application.

The Leica LMD laser capture microdissection microscope has 4X, 6.3X, 10X, 20X, 40X, and 63x objectives, automated motorized scanning and positioning, and remote stylus operated input.

The Hemavet 950 FS is an animal blood cell counter and differential analyzer. The Hemavet allows for a fast and complete five-part white blood cell differential, red blood cell analysis, and platelet analysis.
