Scheduling
Scheduling
for flow instrumentation (either sorter or a bench top analyzer) is on a first come, first serve
basis. It is essential to allow the Core lab a few days advance notice
of the needed appointment time. Notification of cancellations is also appreciated.
If you are a first time user or are reserving time on the Moflo (for sorting or multi-color analysis), call the lab (312 908-1294) or e-mail James Marvin (J-Marvin@northwestern.edu)
with the appointment request. If you need a bench top analyzer and have undergone training, please feel free to use the Appointment Quest online scheduler (click here for scheduler instructions). Please NEVER use the online scheduler to reserve time on the Moflo! Due to the more complex nature of experiments utilizing the Moflo and time allotment
needed, a minimum one week advance notice is required. Requests
for data analysis / graphics production will be handled with a one week
turnaround.
Fee Schedule
The current fee
schedule for use of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility instrumentation,
training and data analysis is shown in the Fees
Table. Note that a reduced charge is available to any Northwestern
Faculty member whose staff acquires and analyzes their samples independently
(XL or CyAn flow cytometers only; training provided by core facility
personnel). Time is charged to the nearest quarter hour (minimum
one half hour) and is charged via current CUFS number provided to the
facility.
