Welcome to the Veterinary Biosciences Cytometry Core

The Cytometry Core, formerly ImCore, is a college-wide service, supported by the Department of Veterinary Biosciences and the Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Lawrence Mathes founded the core in the early 1980's with the Beckman Coulter Epics 741, later upgrading to the Epics 743 and Epics Elite. Dr. Mary Jo Burkhard's lab and a BD FACS Calibur was introduced in 2004 along with clinical immunophenotyping. In 2008 a state of the art cell sorter and analyzer, the i-Cyt Reflection, was introduced to the Cytometry Core. The Cytometry Core now hosts a number of instruments for research and clinical needs.

The Core functions to provide high quality, cost effective state-of-the-art cell sorting (both infectious and non), flow cytometry, fluorescent and confocal imaging, and magnetic cell sorting. Our facility hosts staff that are trained in both instrumentation and analysis to serve the research, teaching, and clinical missions of the University.

Services are offered to eligible faculty, staff and students on a fee-for-service, on a first-come-first serve basis. Eligibility is extended to all laboratories within the College of Veterinary Medicine and Comprehensive Cancer Center. For other accessibility, please contact the Cytometry Core Laboratory Coordinator.
