Overview
The Cytometry and Cell Imaging Core on Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, provides researchers with access to state-of-the-art equipment in three main pipelines:
- Cell and tissue imaging resources, including microscopes and a slide scanner.
- Flow cytometry, including analytical flow cytometry and cell sorting.
- Mass cytometry (CyTOF).
The Cytometry and Cell Imaging Core supports discovery science by providing instrument training, help with experimental design and technical support. The core specializes in antibody-based techniques.
The core's expertise is available to researchers who need cell sorting, imaging or high-parameter analysis of cells and tissues. Each year, the core supports over 140 users across more than 65 laboratories.
The Cytometry and Cell Imaging Core provides:
- Consultation services. Services and support include panel and experiment design, sample preparation tips and technical troubleshooting, as well as advice on how to collect reliable data and get the most out of your experiments.
- Education. Curated educational resources provide information you need to succeed and expand your knowledge of the field.
- Training. The core provides training for independent use on select equipment.
- Data acquisition and cell sorting. The core provides services using equipment for which independent-use training is not available.
- Equipment maintenance and quality control. The Cytometry and Cell Imaging Core provides high-quality, precise and reliable data.
