Flow Cytometry Core Facility

The Loyola University Maryland Flow Cytometry Core Facility (LUM-FCCF) is an NSF-funded facility with the goal to provide affordable and accessible flow cytometry technology to faculty and student researchers at predominantly undergraduate colleges and universities in Maryland. Flow cytometry use is free to predominantly undergraduate colleges and universities, and available for a competitive fee to biotechnology start-up companies.  The mission of the LUM-FCCF is to support faculty and student researchers in the use of flow cytometry technology for innovative research projects.  Additionally, the facility and flow cytometry instrument are intended to encourage interest and training in cutting-edge technologies for undergraduate students.  Following training on the instrument, the use of this facility by undergraduate faculty and their students is encouraged to expand the array of experimental technologies available to researchers and educators.  

Funding

Funding for the flow cytometry instrument, reagents, and setup of the LUM-FCCF is supported by the National Science Foundation (MRI grant #2214788), the Loyola Biology Department, and the Natural and Applied Sciences Division of Loyola University Maryland.  Please cite NSF grant #2214788 in any presentations or publications in which data is shown that was generated using the LUM-FCCF.
