Flow Cytometry Grant Services

Letters of Support:

Grant applications proposing work that will be performed by Flow Cytometry Service or with Flow Cytometry Service’s assistance do not require letters of support unless the methods that will be used are not included in Flow Cytometry’s service description in the JAX Facilities and Other Resources master document (see description below). For methods that are unusual or particularly challenging in the flow cytometry field, or that were recently published, please discuss with the Flow Cytometry Service Associate Director whether a letter of support would be appropriate.

Facilities and Resources Documentation:

The Flow Cytometry Service has extensive experience and expertise in all aspects of flow cytometry and offers state-of-the-art instrumentation. The Flow Cytometry Service provides sterile sorts of specific cell populations for in vivo and in vitro studies. The Service offers training on all instrumentation and consultation for antibody panel and experimental design. Some equipment is located in BSL-2-compliant laboratories. In addition, an extensive inventory of titrated monoclonal antibodies is maintained at the Bar Harbor, ME, campus to aid users in designing and building high-parameter antibody panels.
