BD Custom LSR-II Flow Cytometer

描述（由申请人提供）：要求提供支持以支付Becton Dickenson Custom LSR-II流式细胞仪的租赁购买费用，并为LSR-II添加HTS以及高端Apple工作站进行数据分析。一组六个主要用户与11个NIH资助的项目集中在广泛的艾滋病毒研究使用LSR-II的格莱斯顿流核心与加州大学旧金山分校核心免疫学实验室共享。2004年底，格莱斯顿研究所搬迁到一个新的地点;由于偏远和CIL的使用增加，使用LSR-II的机会减少。租赁了所要求的仪器，以便主要用户群体能够有效地继续其项目。所要求的LSR-II是一种带有额外激光器和光电倍增管的定制仪器。用其他细胞仪进行的测量表明，这种配置在许多参数上产生上级测量。高温超导体将至少加强每个主要用户的一个项目。Apple工作站将为主要用户增加使用FlowJo进行高端数据分析的可用性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested to pay off a lease-to-purchase of a Becton Dickenson Custom LSR-II flow cytometer, and to add an HTS to the LSR-II as well as a high-end Apple workstation for data analysis. A group of six major users with eleven NIH funded projects centering on a broad range of HIV research used an LSR-II that the Gladstone Flow Core shared with a UCSF Core Immunology Laboratory. In late 2004, the Gladstone Institute relocated to a new site; access to this LSR-II decreased due to remoteness and increased use by the CIL. The requested instrument was leased so the major user group could effectively continue their projects. The LSR-II requested is a custom instrument with extra lasers and PMTs. Measurements made with other cytometers indicate that this configuration yields superior measurements on many parameters. The HTS would enhance at least one project of each of the major users. The Apple workstation will increase the availability of high-end data analysis using FlowJo for the major users.
