Use of the Flow Cytometry Facility

Use of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility

The Flow Cytometry Core Facility within the School of Medicine was established nearly fifteen years ago by Dr. Mark Soloski who is the current director of the facility. The Core Facility is managed by Lee Blosser and coordinated by Ada Tam. Together, they have more than thirteen years of experience in the field of Flow Cytometry. Both Lee and Ada can assist you with training, scheduling for the use of the flow cytometers and sorting. We can be reached at 410-955-7852. As there are times that we can’t answer the phone, please leave us a message. The rest of this page will guide you as to how to use the facility.
