The EVMS Flow Cytometry Core Facility (Flow Core) provides access to flow cytometry instrumentation and expertise to support research at EVMS and the research community of Hampton Roads, including Old Dominion University, Hampton University and the American Red Cross. The Flow Core acknowledges that EVMS is part of a research sharing agreement based on the signed Memorandum of Understanding with seven other research institutions across Virginia, offering an internal rate to investigators from these institutions to increase collaborations and facilitate scientific advances. Flow Cytometry is a technique for measurement of individual cells in a stream of fluid ("HPLC for cells"). Applications include, but are not limited to: cell phenotyping, cell cycle analysis, cell signaling, protein modification, etc. Several instruments are available in the facility including a Cytek-upgraded BD FACSCalibur, a BD FACSAria Fusion and an Amnis ImageStream Mark II. A detailed listing of the instruments available in the Flow Core can be accessed by exploring our shared resources. Please inquire with the facility staff for a complete fee schedule. Users are required to reserve a time on a sign-up sheet posted outside the Flow Facility.
