Welcome!
The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) Cytometry Facility (CF) provides comprehensive flow cytometry services for both basic research and clinical studies, enabling rapid quantitative analysis of diverse cellular properties such as DNA content, antigen expression, receptor-ligand interactions, and gene expression. The facility offers continuous basic and advanced training and is accessible to trained users 24/7. Equipped with high-speed workstations and specialized analysis software, CF supports fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) in a BSL-2+ environment, including sorting of live human cells and retrovirally transfected cells. UPCI investigators benefit from complimentary consultations on experimental design and assay development. The facility also features cutting-edge multi-omic readout on the NanoString/Bruker nCounter platform.
