Additional Facility Equipment
In the core facility we have a lot of other equipment that investigators can use free of charge. This includes the following items shown below.
Other Cytometry Equipment
Image
In the core facility we have a Lenovo (Intel Core i5) Windows 7 Workstation that is networked to both the Yeti and the FACSAria, and is also on the Creighton network. Analysis software available on this workstation includes...
- FlowJo - Powerful general flow cytometry analysis program for all types of data.
- ModFit - Versatile cell cycle analysis program.
- Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Adobe Photoshop

Using monoclonal antibodies and magnetic beads, these units allow for the rapid purification or enrichment of specific cell populations for further purification on the FACSAria, analysis or cell culture.
VarioMACS Separator
- For single samples of up to
- adapters for MS, LS, LD, and CS columns.
QuadroMACS Separator
- Allows up to 4 samples/columns at a time on LS or LD columns
- Up to 108 magnetically labeled cells per sample/column.
