The Flow Cytometry Facility at San Diego State University is dedicated to helping both internal and external scientists utilize flow cytometry to advance their research efforts. The facility provides users with the tools necessary to perform an array of assays and techniques to answer complex biological questions. You can rely on the team as they are experts in flow cytometry that continually seek to expand its uses and applications, as demonstrated by their publication in Cytometry Part A, and acknowledgement in over 35 scientific publicatinos. Users will be assisted in all of their flow cytometry needs from experimental design, sample acuistions, cell sorting and analysis to data management.
