UMMC Multiuser
Flowcytometry Facility

    
A Multiuser Flow Cytometry Facility is located in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. This multiuser facility is equipped with two flow cytometers. These instruments employ laminar flow of cells in suspension, high-speed electronics, narrowly focused laser beams for cellular interrogation, and multiple, sensitive photomultiplier tubes for fluorescence and light-scatter analysis, as well as the capability of physically sorting individual cells at high rates.
