Flow Cytometry Core

流式细胞术核心疫苗研究中心是一个为VRC的基础研究和临床项目提供支持的服务机构。 Core拥有5台18色分析仪和2台18色分拣机，其中一台位于BSL-3设施中。 核心为所有仪器执行常规质量保证和质量控制，确保一致、稳健的性能。 该核心还在多个层面上为VRC的研究人员提供直接支持：设计流式细胞术实验，实施实验以及分析结果数据。在某些情况下，核心通过在仪器上为用户运行示例来提供支持。 核心负责与仪器制造商进行互动，以安排所有常规和意外维护和服务请求。最后，Core为用户提供仪器使用和数据分析的常规和高级培训。

The Vaccine Research Center Flow Cytometry Core provides is a service facility providing support for the basic research and clinical program of the VRC. The Core maintains five 18-color analyzers and 2 18-color sorters, of which one is in a BSL-3 facility. The core performs routine Quality Assurance and Quality Control for all instruments, ensuring consistent, robust performance. The Core also provides direct support to researchers at the VRC at multiple levels: designing flow cytometry experiments, implementing the experiments, and analysis of the data that results. In some cases, the core provides support by running the samples for the users on the instruments. The Core is responsible for interactions with the instrument manufacturer to schedule all routine and unexpected maintenance and service requests. Finally, the Core provides routine and advanced training to users for instrument use and data analysis.
