Experimental Design Consultation

We can assist with experimental and protocol design and offer assistance in assay protocol drafting, reagent recommendations, to proper control recommendations. Book a Project Meeting with us if you are planning a flow experiment but do not know where to begin.

Panel Design Consultation

The Core Facility offers consultation services in multi-parametric panel design for both conventional and spectral cytometers. Additionally, Core Facility staff can connect you with Cytek, BioLegend, and Thermo Scientific Application Scientists, who can further assist in Aurora panel design.

Data Analysis/Interpretation

The Core Facility offers training in use of post-acquisition data analysis software packages using either FCS Express or FlowJo as well as consultation services in data analysis and interpretation.

Manuscript & Grant Review Service

If you are submitting a manuscript to a journal that contains flow cytometry data acquired in the MSU Flow Cytometry Core Facility, we will gladly perform a high-level review and provide feedback on relevant sections. Additionally, we are also providing free review services for flow cytometric endpoints on upcoming grant submissions.
