Scheduling
Scheduling
for use of the Epics XL flow cytometer 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. In order to schedule the necessary
amount of time per appointment please provide the core lab staff with
the number of samples planned and/or an idea of how much time might
be needed. Notification of cancellations is also appreciated.
Call the lab (312 908-1294) or e-mail James Marvin (J-Marvin@northwestern.edu)
with the appointment request. Appointments for cell-sorting or
multi-laser experiments should be made in the same manner. However,
due to the more complex nature of these experiments 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.
