Flow Cytometry / Cell SortingHome | Services | Equipment | Price List | Location | Contact Us Director: Debra L. Laskin, Ph.D. The Flow Cytometry / Cell Sorting Shared Resource provides investigators with rapid and precise multiparameter analysis of cells, particles, and tissues by flow cytometry/cell sorting. It is located on the Piscataway campus with a satellite in New Brunswick. The overall purpose of the Flow Cytometry / Cell Sorting Shared Resource is to provide access to expert assistance with various techniques in flow cytometry and cell sorting to members of CINJ. The specific objectives of this shared resource are as follows:
Laser based cytometry provides a high intensity light source for efficient and broad range illumination of fluorescent probes. The instruments are linked to computer workstations for rapid data analysis. Typically, investigators, their students, and/or technicians work with technical experts in the shared resource to analyze samples and the resultant data, thereby gaining first-hand experience in data acquisition and analysis. The staff also works closely with investigators to design experiments and protocols for optimal utilization of the facility. A variety of different services are currently available. Experimental protocols are available for each of these techniques to guide investigators. New methods are routinely being established and tested.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SHARED RESOURCES The shared resources of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) are specialized service facilities that support the cancer research efforts of our members. The shared resources are supported primarily by the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) from the National Cancer Institute. Additional support may be provided from other sources, such as chargeback systems, institutional funding and/or other grants. The support from the CCSG allows the core facilities to provide benefits to Cancer Center members, such as ensured access to services or subsidies to user rates. Please remember to acknowledge the valuable services provided by CINJ Shared Resources in your research papers, publications and grant applications: "This research was supported by the [insert name(s)] Shared Resource(s) of The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (P30CA072720)." (Note: please also consider including the names of individuals from the shared resources if they provided any intellectual input or additional effort.)
