• Two-laser Union Biometrica BioSorter

In addition, we offer:

• Automated Viability Analyzer/Cell Counter (Vi-Cell)
• AutoMACS Pro Magnetic Column Cell Separator
• GentleMACS tissue dissociator
• Three computers at our workstations (3 PCs)

Training is offered on all instruments.

We offer six main types of training (request all training by email):

• Analyzer Training - $350 - (acquire data on fluorescence expression). Typically 3 days (4-5 hours apiece) on a Monday-Wednesday.
• Aria Sort Training - $120/hour - (analyze AND deflect a certain population of cells to be collected for downstream applications). Typically 16-20 hours of one on one training. Requests to be trained will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
• Access Aria sort training videos for initial training or to review your training (Baylor login required)
• Access Aria sort training videos for initial training or to review your training (Baylor login required)- One Drive
• Sony MA900 Sort Training - $120/hour-(analyze the fluorescence expression AND deflect a certain population of cells to be collected downstream applications). Typically 10-12 hours of one on one training.
• Vi-Cell Training- Complementary ~30 minutes - (cell counter and viability analyzer).
• AutoMACS Pro Training- Complementary ~1 hour - (magnetic cell separator).
• GentleMACS Training - Complementary ~10 minutes- (tissue dissociator).
