The CVD Flow Cytometry & Mass Cytometry Core exists to ensure that University of Maryland investigators have access to flow cytometry and mass cytometry services for their research. A facility with dedicated operators ensures well-performing instruments and optimal results with a minimal outlay of expenses. Established in 1991, this facility has state-of-the art equipment and a highly-trained and experienced staff.
Before samples from a new user can be run on the flow cytometer, Principal Investigators (PI) who desire to have specimens run in the core facility are required to:
1. Schedule a meeting with the Core Director (Dr. Marcelo Sztein - 410-706-2345) or the Lab Manager (Regina Harley - 410-706-0095) to discuss whether the use of the flow cytometer/mass cytometer will be appropriate to accomplish the goals outlined by the investigator. At this time, the rationale for the use of flow cytometry/mass cytometry, the controls and staining techniques required for the experiments, the approximate number of samples to be run, the flow cytometer/mass cytometer requirements and time tables will be discussed in detail.
2. Read the Rules and Regulations Form (Revision February 20, 2015). There is a link to this form at the bottom of the page.
3. Check the Billing Authorization statement box on the Reservation Details page.
