An overview of the Flow Cytometry Research Group (FCRG) Studies

摘要

The FCRG’s main focus is to provide the flow cytometry community with practical information on fluorescent activated cell sorting that they can implement to better serve their users. Our initial studies focused on the effects of different cell sorters and pressures on cell function and gene expression. Over the last few years our group has focused our studies on evaluating sterility and cleanliness of cell sorters in shared resource laboratories (SRLs), as well as, evaluating the effects fixation has on RNA isolation from sorted cells. Our current focus is on developing best practices for single cell sorting.
