BENCHTOP FLOW CYTOMETER FOR MULTIPLE USE RESEARCH

宾夕法尼亚州定量细胞分析中心（Center for Quantitative Cell Analysis of The Pennsylvania State） 大学寻求资金购买最先进的台式流量 细胞计数器。该中心是一个共享的技术设施， 生命科学联盟，为整个 大学公园校园。我们现有的流式细胞仪（a 库尔特EPICS 753）是用来容量，并已成为越来越多的 由于维护时间增加而不可靠。我们寻求一个额外的 流式细胞仪（Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur）：（a）完成约 以较低的成本为用户的R 01项目提供50%的当前分析; (b)为那些需要多激光或 分选能力;（C）提供可靠、快速、多参数 分析所有用户。八个不同的调查人员将使用新的 细胞计数器超过30小时/周。

The Center for Quantitative Cell Analysis of The Pennsylvania State University seeks funds to purchase a state-of-the-art bench top flow cytometer. The Center is one of the Shared Technology Facilities in the Life Sciences Consortium, providing services for the entire University Park campus. Our existing instrument for flow cytometry (a Coulter EPICS 753) is used to capacity and has become increasingly unreliable due to increased maintenance time. We seek an additional flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur) to: (a) complete about 50% of our current analyses at lower cost to the user's R01 project; (b) free the existing instrument for those demanding multi-laser or sorting capabilities; (C) provide reliable, rapid, multi-parameter analysis to all users. Eight different investigators will use the new cytometer for over 30 hr/wk.
