Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting (FCCS) Facility
The Harry Hood Bassett Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting (FCCS) Facility at UVM is a Larner College of Medicine Core Facility designed as a multi-user resource for the high speed analysis and sorting of cells. We are located on 1st floor of Firestone Medical Research Building (FMRB), in Firestone RM 161, part of the Center for Biomedical Shared Resources. The FCCS Facility has BD LSRII and MACSQuant VYB analytical cytometers, and a BD FACS AriaIII high-speed cell sorter. This equipment was purchased through National Institute of Health and UVM-College of Medicine Shared Instrumentation Grants. Investigators who bring samples to the FCCS Facility for sorting or analysis pay a fee, which is used to offset operating expenses. The FCCS Facility provides professional consultation and assistance with equipment use, experimental design, and interpretation of flow data.
