Service hours:
The facility is available M-F from 8AM to 5PM. If you require services outside of these hours, please contact us to discuss. It is advised to schedule your analysis time at least one week in advance to assure the day and time slot you prefer, particularly for long experiments. To schedule time for flow analysis, please call 977-8877. Please leave a message if you are unable to reach us immediately, and we will return your call as soon as possible.
Fee Information:
An hourly rate is charged for all cytometry services performed, including acquisition of samples and analysis. The total time used is rounded up to the next quarter hour (ie: 40 minutes of analysis = 45 minutes billed). There is never a charge for consultations or technical advice! There is no discount given to investigators that choose to run their own experiments. Please contact the flow core for the current fee structure.
