Scheduling:
Please schedule services or equipment through iLab. Some discounted services are offered during off-peak hours; please see iLab for details.
Cancellation:
Due to the high demand of the core equipment, we require cancellations to be made 24 hours in advance through iLab. If you need to cancel within 24 hours of reserved time please contact the core directly. Failure to cancel 24 hours in advance may result in full or partial billing for equipment use, staff time, and prepared reagent costs. Please refer to iLab scheduling for service and equipment dependent policies or contact us for specific details.
Impact
At the North Campus Flow Cytometry and Cellular Imaging facility, we strive to empower investigators and provide the tools and training they need for their individual applications. Our uniquely outfitted facilities provide cutting-edge equipment for flow cytometry, mass cytometry and cellular imaging applications as well as nine workstations for image processing, co-registration of multi-modal and multi-omics spatial data and analysis.
